Covid-19 has upended daily life in nearly every corner of the globe. Events have been cancelled, gatherings postponed and major life moments have been forced online.
But, Finland’s Santa Claus has a message of reassurance for worried children around the world as numerous countries reimpose new restrictions amid rising cases – despite everything going on, Christmas will not be cancelled.
In an early Christmas message as he answers post sent in from around the world, Santa responded to a little boy called David who was worried the festive season would be postponed this year.
The jolly St Nicholas reassured the youngster that Christmas would not be cancelled but to remember, “one of the most important wonderful aspects of Christmas is spending time together” before a helpful elf reminds watchers that they should do so while following relevant public health guidelines in their areas.
We're here visiting How many days till Christmas
Have a Covid-safe Christmas

Finishing wrapping. On my way to a friend's home to spend a few hours with their family. I hope the day has been great for all of you. Merry Christmas! :-)
Leftover wrapping material from past Christmases when I had places to go and gifts to wrap and fundraisers would send it free to decorate the closet.
Taken on New Year's Eve when we were taking the ornaments off the Christmas tree. Here is Wanda enjoying the festivities. I will create a new series of pictures called the cat amusement park to showcase the rides and attractions that would work at such a venture.

Technically not my birthday until tomorrow but there's always time to feel presents before hand ;-)

This week let's do a:
"Holiday Still Life"
You can use anything that represents this holiday season or just the winter/summer season itself depending on your location and belief system. :)
Post-process as you like.
A few presents (none of them for me) a couple of decorations, some bits of dried fruit and cinnamon sticks taken from the pot pourri bowl and here we have the still life, all plonked on top of our dining table. Not my favourite genre of photography, I can never seem to get it quite right.
The image has been processed, had its frame, text and a few baubles added using the iPad Photoshop Express app.
All that’s left now is to wish and my friends and contacts on Flickr, especially the SSC and Take Aim groups, a very Happy Christmas.
Take Aim: Preparation
Thank you for your visit and comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Zoe Star (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles, 6 units, no glue
Folded from 1*3.5 cm rectangles - all 6 were very economically cut out of a single 5 cm square :D
60° Origami Modulars (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles (3:4), double bronze, 12 units, no glue
Other rectangles are also possible with this folding sequence.
i present myself to you Lord.
now and forever.
i'm sorry for trying to run away.
i'm sorry for attempting to fill that void,
through another human.
now i know it's you.
no person can ever fully satisfy me.
no boyfriend, no best friend, no parent.
only you Lord. only you.
i will have faith in your timing. i will believe in your promises.
i'm staying in this town. in this life i've built.
because you put me here for a reason.
it's time to trust.

50° Star (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 30, 24 units, no glue
This was quite a quick and easy fold.
Not because I developed a great folding sequence though, but rather because I didn't. Constructing a 50° angle with origami methods is not an easy task. So to make things easier I just printed some reference lines on the white side of the paper and used them for a first few folds. I must say I quite enjoyed the experience:)
The model is similar to Stiletto Star, which has 45° at the tip. But unlike Stiletto this star can be connected in both ways - by wrapping flaps around pyramids and by using a hook hidden inside a pocket. The first method is easier, but the second might be useful too in some rare cases. For example, the model on the right (24-unit assembly) shows both types of connection. "Wrapping" for pyramids and "hooks" for flat fins.
The top layer of the unit can be arranged in a few other ways, I folded the one I liked the most.
Also similar to this one, but everything will align "just so" in a 50° version.
i made a dress out of wrapping paper! i wanted to do it as a tribute to my other newspaper dress photo and wrap the walls as well, but today wasn't worthy of work! i stayed in my PJs most of today, which is exactly what i needed. and its gone by so fast!
merry christmas! i hope you are all enjoying your family and company.
She appeared last year to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year and here she is again in a different shot with holiday wishes to you all.
This was HER first Christmas several years ago and she is huge now and of course, in complete control of the wonderful home she reluctantly shares with my close friend.
This shot was taken when SHE was opening her presents and happened to sit on the red tissue paper and didn't move for a minute.
I am finally using some of the vintage Christmas wrapping paper that I got at an estate sale earlier this year.

Thanks for the comments and faves on my pictures.
When your wrapping paper matches the theme of your tree… you might have a little bit of OCD.

I know it's early, but i really hate crowds so i'm basically ready for Christmas present wise, so i did actually practice my christmas wrapping today.
I've decided to get bakers twine in red and white just for that christmassy touch, i'm really excited now ;)

Reflecting spoons are altogether too much fun! I haven't abandoned the idea yet, my friends! Thanks so much for your patience and enthusiasm! I'm calling this reflection of Christmas wrapping paper 'Bullseye' but I was thinking of 'Tar-zhey' as a name because it reminds me so much of Target's iconic logo!!

It occurred to me this afternoon that the Christmas wrapping paper "landscape" in my world has radically changed from the pictures of Transformers, Mutant Nijia Turtles and Star Wars.
Back then we had a house full of boys!
Now with two 7 yr. old little girls it's all about Barbie, L.O.L., and Disney Princesses!
Doug had a fun time helping me wrap Carlee and Chloe's Christmas gifts.
