The Third Christmas

For the first time since my Dad died three Christmases ago we have a tree.


It feels... Weird. 

The last two years seeing Christmas stuff around the traps made me sad.  Really sad.  I wanted to spend the day in bed with a doona over my head.

This year?  I'll be honest, I've been going from being totally OK with Christmas to a blubbering mess.  Sometimes in the space of three minutes.  But, I like shiny things, so we have a tree.

Went shopping today and got these totally cool ornaments.


We also have lights on our house and an inflatable Santa riding a motorbike.  As you do.



Festive letterbox, anyone?



We have a very quiet Christmas Day planned. With good food, bon bon jokes and the repeat of the Carols By Candleight on TV.

And I think it's going to be OK.

  1. Your tree, the lights and obviously the inflatable santa riding a motorbike look awesome. Going from happy to sad in three minutes is perfectly acceptable... next year it might be four minutes xxx
