No white Christmas for us this year though, it will probably stay in double figures the rest of the year.

I'll soon be off to spend Christmas with my son and grandchildren and I'm looking forward to that. It will be yet another Christmas without my youngest son though, and that's always hard. I do so long for the days when we were all together at this time of the year.

I've always wanted to experience a white Christmas. It's on my bucket list.<br /><br />Yes we do put up fake evergreens here. It's a tradition that just keeps on keeping on, although some people do use things like our native Norfolk Pine as their Christmas tree. I've never gone down that route as of yet.

It sounds like you've collected quite a few treasures over the years, and what better time than Christmas to have them all out on show.<br /><br />P.S. If I could I'd share some of the toasty warm weather we're having at the moment.

It is snowing today, and quite cold and gray, but pretty in a classic holiday way. I love the fact that people in the tropics put up decorated evergreens. There is something so enduring about the imagery!
