it's a way of acknowledging all that we take for granted, all that we sometimes overlook as we let busyness take over.}
I am thankful today for excited children who love tradition......
once I located all the Christmas trimmings from cupboards all through the house it was on with the setup......
it is fun to rediscover ornaments from past years.....most of ours our handmade or hand chosen by the kids....
as Derek put up the tree he was wondering where the rest was....
Ah no honey it really is that small!
A huge tree would be fabulous but our home doesn't get any bigger each year neither does the cupboard we store it in!
Then at my insistence it was the"photos taken in front of the tree time!"
Today signals the true start the festive season......
we even attempted a timed shot of us ...just for posterity!

Looks like you had fun, think I am in denial that it is so close, maybe all will feel different once exams are finished. Mandy
