For us, Christmas is a tame affair this year. We were going to have moved house 10 days ago, so our Christmas decorations remained in storage. That has been delayed until the New Year and so we've had to make do with whatever was available.... It's ok, but I'm already looking forward to next year and being able to "do" Christmas properly. At the end of the day, though, as long as we've spent a lovely and precious day together, that's all that matters and I'm very grateful for what I DO have as many people don't have as much as we have today, including those lovely friends of ours who are without power or water following the recent storms and are having to rely on the kindness of neighbours in order to be able to cook.
Here's to all that is good about Christmas.... Bright blessings one and all!

Happy Christmas Morti. You are so right, we need to be thankful for what we do have, thats something we've lost these days, I think.Just spotted the woven star on your fireplace- I have one on my radiator! lol. Warmest Christmas hugs, Shaz #14 xxx
Merry Christmas to you and yours. Happy Holidays! Nan G #3
I love your tree and your purple decorations. It sounds like you are having a lovely Christmas day. Enjoy! Judy #22
Moving again? Good grief. No wonder we don't see much of your desk... You've barely time to unpack before you move again!
Christmas wishes of health and more happiness to you!
Happy Christmas, Morti. I trust today has been really special for you and your family - doesn't matter too much about the decorations - a sense of the love,joy and peace of the Christ-child is far more important.
Trusting your move goes well. 2 years ago we were due to move two days before Christmas...and ended up moving out on Jan 30th. Hope you get there sooner than we did!!!

A purple decorated tree just my sort of thing. Happy Christmas BJ#4
Looks pretty festive to me love the tree. But it's who you are with that matters not where you are. Hope your day went well

Oh wow, Morti, I love that tree. Sorry to read that so many are without power. It's good you aren't affected.
Merry Christmas and happy WOYWW from #1.
I think it all looks very organised for someone who has just moved. I particularly like your tree! #15
Love your unique tree - and Happy 1st married Christmas. Next year will be more settles, and even more special as 1st in the new house! I think you did well with all the decorations being packed.
Happy WOYWW Boxing Day!
