Good Afternoon to you,
My Christmas gifts have been bought
and
they are wrapped,
ready for Christmas Day.
Those which needed posting are winging their way to our family and friends,
whilst the Christmas gifts for family and friends
who live locally, have been wrapped,
delivered by hand and placed underneath
the Christmas trees.

Our Christmas cards have been written and posted by George, who, bless him,
braved the queue, at the post office, for over
an hour, waiting to post our
Christmas cards.

He is such a super star.
So all there is left for me to say is,
from George and myself,
HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS
and I will catch up with you in the middle of January, when I will have some fun things to tell you about.
.....but before I leave you, I wanted to share with you, a Christmas song, which our daughters Natasha and Danielle used to sing, when they were little girls.
O Christmas Tree (O Tannenbaum)
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
Not only green when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Thy leaves are so unchanging.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee,
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree,
Much pleasure thou can'st give me.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Thy candles shine so brightly,
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Thy candles shine so brightly,
From base to summit, gay and bright,
There's only splendour for the sight.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Thy candles shine so brightly.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How richly God has decked thee,
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How richly God has decked thee,
Thou bidst us true and faithful be,
And trust in God unchangingly.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How richly God has decked thee.
.... and I love this version by Andrea Bocelli
Such lovely memories.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
WITH WARMEST WISHES
