Christmas 12












Christmas 12

It seems appropriate that I should end my Christmas Series after 12 days.  I hope you have enjoyed the variety of images that I have shared in this series. 

The outdoor Nativity Scene was taken in the Holyrood area.  I made several images of outside decorations at night and I've uploaded a couple more to my Blog this morning.  I've also shared a few images of snowmen and Santas.

As I said at the beginning of this series, in stores and on TV this year the Christmas season began in August, was in full swing by early November and ended the day after Christmas Day.  Very few, if any, mention of Christmas now. 


A couple of days ago I overheard two women talking about Christmas. One said that after all the expense and time preparing for Christmas, an hour after the gifts were open at her house, her kids were bored.  The other replied, "You got an hour? You were lucky!"   They may have been exaggerating but the comments speak volumes about the Christmas season as it is today.

Feel free to share today's photos with family and friends.
