The assorted Christmas pics thread
« on: December 07, 2008, 08:09:59 am »
Hiya :D

Here's a thread for sharing whatever Christmas pics you come across and think they're worth sharing. They may be found on the internet, taken by yourself or whatever.
You can share funny pics, poingant ones, lovely Christmas cards, a photo of the lights on your tree, a picture of a not so successful/your most beloved present, of a beautiful decoration in a store, of your dog in snow at Christmas morning, of you as a kid under the tree - you get the picture.

Have fun and don't forget to comment on other's pictures! :)

My Advent wreath this year




During Advent, all school classes, kindergarten groups, sports teams and so on have their Advent/Christmas festivities. Although I like tose acrivities in general, it does get tiresome when you have three kids and all of them are in school/kindergarten and practise sports. Anyway, last week the kindergarten my youngest attents did a little performance at the local Christmas market. The lil ones were all so cute.



See the packages at the front of the stage? Each of the kids got one after their performance.

This pic may not be so funny for our Aussies and all living in hot climates. But for me it IS funny. It's from the webpage of a travel agency, promoting to celebrate Christmas in Australia.

I love the colours!


It may be tiresome to go to all those performances now, but very soon your kids will be in high school and college, and they won't want you to attend their performances!! Then, you will miss them, believe me!

Oui!

More please...
au revoir,
hugs!  Here is a lovely gift to give to someone for Christmas or any other holidays or times, even to a child, since it can be easily grown by anyone, and maybe by one at the hospital too, even to men, no matter what age or difficulties !

I agree, Artiste. Amaryllis is beautiful, easy to grow, and it cheers our hearts during the darkest part of the year. I try to grow at least one every holiday season. Thank you for the lovely pictures.

The pic you posted does, indeed, depict an excellent and perfectly realistic representation of an Australian Christmas, Chrissi. Here's another:

I do believe you. My oldest daughter, going on 13, already has reached the phase when parents are EMBARRASSING, when seen in public.  ::)
I'm happy my kids are some years apart in age. So I still have a lil one at home :D.

Thanks for adding another pic the thread Kerry :).
Beach and Christmas together - that's paradox to me. But of course I know it's all a matter of what you're used to.
