Consider this...

...your Christmas card from me!

I needed something light hearted after a heavy, difficult day. I went to a funeral today to say goodbye to a friend who left this side of life too soon. The only after life I can concieve of is being held in the memories of those still living and as atoms and energy continuing in different forms. So in that respect, I hope he's found the peace he needed.

The kids are continuing to give a daily countdown to the 25th...which with each day throws me further into a spiral of panic with the house a tip and barely any presents bought. Maybe tomorrow. ...

Hope the photo made you smile to balance the rather melancholy words!

Ciao
