So this is......

Ornamental fence gate. Beach house.

Every few years I stubbornly refuse Christmas, well side line it at least. This is one of those years.... Well it's really just a humbug reluctance.

Although one of my private traditions is to make my own "tree". ( Again a childish stubborn refusal of others traditional traditions)

Ho hum ;-D

As I am spending the eve and a lot of 25th at a friends place the tree project is going ahead. ( Painted dried Banksia branches and pods this year.)

It's all fun really, all added extras.

Freedom to openly practice religious, civil and social customs is a not available to all.

Feeling thankful.
