Here's something lovely to have a bop to round the kitchen x

Finally, a little Christmas gift for you all. Probably the best and finest Christmas story not written by Charles Dickens. I hope you can take some time to enjoy it.

Thanks Liv, Happy Hanukkah, sad that its started with such an atrocity.

Good morning all. It's still the 14th and we are in evening here. Wishing you all well!

I bring you Christmas Lights on behalf of our local zoo...











Not my video! But it shows the walk through and how OTT the decorations really are. If you love Christmas lights, this is a must see...

Not this year. We usually go every year, but it's been incredibly busy. That's why I have not been posting as much either. Our neighbors have gone all out though so we have been walking around and enjoying them more locally this time. Plus I have been working on multiple computer systems, so there may have been small rave parties in a box to keep her entertained of late... I did pull out last year's lights that I kept in her room and living room and am looking to put them up We usually keep everything up until her birthday which is mid January...

….ahhhh, it’s always lovely to create traditions that link Christmas and a birthday when there is a family one around the festive time also…one of my favourite things at this time is to go for evening walks to see all the neighbourhood Christmas lights and how magical it all looks …..

I used to do this when my Josh was little, his little face would light up in delight and he'd get all excited. A neighbour used to have a massive display, really went to town on it. Wonderful memories.

…it’s such a magical ‘walk through’ for children and lots of people decorate their homes for charity donations as well now so the displays can be truly outstanding and look so professional…..

Aww I didn't know people did it for charity Ammi. How wonderful. I'd definitely give money to that.

A Belated Happy Hanukkah, Livia.

And the Bondi massacre is terrible, I feel for everyone that's personally involved out of the families and friends of the victims, plus the Jewish community as a whole.

Well as you know I'm not good at downloads so I am restricted despite efforts to tell me how...so anyone feel free to download my 2 songs at the end then please feel free...
In the meantime I love a poem...and this is to you all.

As I stop to count my blessings
There is one thing that rings true
I will always be so grateful
For the friends I found in you.

Grateful for some special times
We have shared throughout the years
Times that bought us closer
Through the banter and the tears.

Most of us have never met
A mere image in my head
And the image is established
By how you post on threads.

And when I look upon my life
What matters in the end
Is what we have on this Forum
Some genuine caring friends...


First song Book of Days by Enya...nothing to do with Christmas but I love it.

Second song just has to be Greg Lake I believe in Father Christmas..


Wishing you all a fabulous Christmas and may 2026 bring you wealth and happiness...
