Wishing you all a Happy Christmas Preparation Time
Spent an hour or so lining up at Kirsten's Corner today - I must say, although the sun was quite hot, I actually really love lining up for the best cherries in town. I always end up having a terrific chit-chat to someone in the line and it is almost like a 'mandatory rest and for my brain and natter away to those around me'.
And then, to my delight, I see others in the line that I can give a wave to, or say a quick Hello to as we come and go.
So, I wonder what your traditions are leading up to Christmas?
Whatever they are, I hope you have a peaceful time -
albiet for many I am sure, a very busy time getting ready.
Bright Blessings Neighbours and Friends
for a very safe and Happy Christmas Eve.
Warmest regards
