I hope that this Christmas, whether you celebrate it or not, will bring you happiness and wellbeing. It has been a busy year for us, so a time of good cheer and a little bit of indulgence will be welcome. (We value quieter Christmases these days – they give a great feeling of peace and time to just relax.)
Despite my usual frosty photo for Christmas, it looks as if we’ll see no frost or snow over this year’s festive period. Christmas day is forecast to be sunny, so time outside in the garden is a possibility. But there will be no hoar-frost photos like this one taken last December…a rest for the camera maybe!
However you spend Christmas, I hope that it’s a good one. Merry Christmas! I wish you joy. 🎄

So it’ll be “I’m dreaming of a warm Christmas.” Frost or not, enjoy your holiday.

Happy Christmas to you and Nigel, Liz! I hope you have a lovely, summery Christmas! (And it feels strange to say that, when Christmas and winter are so deeply linked here. 🙂 )

I did, thank you Jill! I hope that you did too. Suffolk has been wet and windy for a few days too, but not too bad. (I feel sorry for those who have flooding or storm damage today.)
