Joyeuses Fêtes

I love love love holiday decorations.  If it wasn't for the snickering that comes with having a Christmas tree hanging around in the middle of Spring, I would no doubt yield to my nudging desire to keep it up indefinitely. The glow of white lights, how it captivates and fills hushed darkness - that's my favorite part…

So now Christmas is only days away,… on to wrapping presents!

How are your decorating and holiday doings moving along?

    I could not agree with you more: the Xmas holidays are my favorite time of the year (well, after summer ;-)) and the tree has been up at our place since, hum...the last week of November. It fills me with unspeakable joy to put it up now that I have children of my own and I love love love to see how the stare in awe at the flickering lights in the evening - I see stars in their eyes. What's more precious, I wonder? Happy holiday season to you and your family!

    Beautiful photos! Your comment about keeping the tree year around reminded me of my mom. The Christmas before I moved to Germany, she kept the tree around until March and my dad had to finally call me and asked me to tell her to take it down...lol. I guessed she missed me that much! :D

    Such beautiful photos! I especially like the last one with the busy little hands and bare feet. Joyeux Noel!

    Beautiful photo effects. The blurry images of the white trees looks a lot like snowy fog.

    The quiet peace of your photos is enchanting. My holidays are quiet, very quiet - unless my Grands are visiting!

    I don't keep a tree up, but I have Xmas lights inside the house all year long. I love the colourful glow. - Margy

    These are so beautiful! I know I have said it before but your simple use of monochromatic colors is so warming! I love your images.
