furball in the stable...

A little furball ensures that there is room for just one more in the Christmas stable...

a Christmas street in the snowy lands...

Not a single, 'artificial' Christmas decoration in sight, and yet this street scene seems so Christmasy...
Snow is a wonderful, magical, natural decorator...
Happy Christmas...

the gift of time...

PASSING THOUGHT: Just spent over an hour on the phone with my daughter in NSW. She worries about my being alone for Christmas. She's busy tomorrow with family (will still ring) however thought she would spend some time with me tonight.
Great Christmas gift.
Love her to pieces.

my Christmas wish...

However you celebrate this Christmas season...

National Roots Day...

23rd December-National Roots Day-has been celebrated in the US for c.40 years but is little known beyond?
Falling just before Christmas, globally recognised as a family day, it seems timely to have a global, 'ancestral' kind of celebration as an entrée before the main course... pic.twitter.com/H8BZxV1fU1
