Preparations

"Merry Christmas"! Here comes your card!

Picking up the card at the mailbox

The local stable. Maybe there is a crib inside?
The School is soon to be closed for the holidays....

Whilst others may be busy protesting, striking, demonstrating, occupying, suicide bombing, smashing up their Ferraris, or complaining about this and that, we are preparing for Christmas. It is time for sending cards, so here are a few of ours in the form of photos. My daughter in New Zealand is busy painting her whole house, with the help of a friend and her brother, in time for Christmas. "There is over there the sound of the slap of brush on wall and the whiff of turps in the air". That should be a nice Christmas gift for her husband who is away on business! We hope your preparations are proceeding as well!

I love your picture selection and captions. Life looks very peaceful where you are. How blissful! We are boycotting Christmas for the second year in a row. No gifts, decorations or preparations. Just planning on enjoying a couple of lazy days at home, in the garden, swimming and eating light, coldl meals whilst sipping iced drinks.
