Christmas Month - Day 10

I have always liked this analogy of glue.  And it's perfectly used here for Christmas!

The Christmas curtain story

The house never looks complete until I put up these curtains!  

They belonged to my MIL.  Our good friend, Diana S, gave her those curtains and I fell in love with the colours as soon as I laid eyes on them.  

Ever since I moved to Singapore, I have put up those curtains and they add a glow to the house. It takes so little to make me smile and these curtains always add to my happiness.

Each square represents something meaningful.  This is my fourth year in Singapore since moving here and I have a feeling it's going to be a fantastic one. The children will be joining us. They're newlyweds but choose to spend their first married Christmas with us.  We cannot but feel so blessed.

By the time this goes online, I hope I'm done with all the decorating and then I'm going to start baking.  *cross fingers*

And the countdown begins . . .

Christmas Mode

We're very much in Christmas mode.  With Stephen's long leave, we did so much together and made many memories for 2014 to hold us with happy thoughts.  

I'm feeling blessed and thankful for a life that allows me to do whatever I want.

Alone I can accomplish a lot but with Stephen, we are a formidable team and together we can take on every challenge that comes our way.  

Boxing Day and St Stephen's Day

Yup, there are still boxes below my tree for giving to other people.  In general, we're rather private people and usually spend our day together but we do join celebrations when we can.  Too many invitations are received and choosing which ones to accept can be difficult.

We're still in a joyful spirit and the magic is still looming over us.  What a wonderful time of the year it is!
