It feels as if Christmas has sneaked up on me quietly this year. That’s partly because the unusually mild weather has kept me busy in the garden, where it still feels like late autumn rather than the early days of winter. It’s easy to lose track of ‘calendar time’ when you’re immersed in the rhythms of the natural world.
But here it is, suddenly, Christmas in all its twinkling lights and glitzy decorations (which, by being not much of a shopper, I have largely missed ’til now). Our Christmases here are peaceful and easygoing – we’ve always taken a no-stress approach to this time of year. I hope that Christmas is a relaxed and happy time for you too and that, however you choose to spend it, it’s a time of good cheer and contentment. Merry Christmas! 🎄
