Christmas has come and gone with a bang. I wasn’t quite ready for it. Christmas, I haven’t finished with you yet! I didn’t get to do everything I wanted to, like finishing my Christmas decorations, making Christmas cards, and getting the whole garden tidy, due to the busyness of work, an assignment due on Christmas eve day, which I had avoidance issues with, glue explosions and so forth. At the end of the day, I just had to let go of the things that weren’t that important. Christmas is, after all, not about stuff, but about Jesus, family and friends. And maybe copious amounts of awesome food…
Here are some of the various scenes of Christmas from my world.
The self-grown Christmas tree that I’m very attached to. Not quite big enough for home, I took it to the office for some Christmas spirit.
It got progressively more decorated. The red and white baubles are covered in red and white electrical tape.
Hanging pinecone cluster that I made for the office. There’s probably a proper name for it…Nala checks out the tree.Nala’s present is playing with the wrapping paper.A satisfied cat.Christmas Day dinner at The Husband’s Parents’ place.Christmas Day Eurasian dinner, complete with turkey, ham, beef, yorkshire puddings, awesome salads, roast veges and Chinese dumplingsDessert time, some time after 5pm!
