I love Christmas. I can't wait to give presents. I love the searching for just the right thing for each person. This search begins months in advance. So many of us have what we need, and want for very little, which makes this search so much more exciting.
A passing comment someone makes in September becoming a secret purchase and I can't wait to see the expression when this present is revealed.
All the sparkly lights in the shops, all the Christmas songs being played, and the wonder on all the little children's faces.
I can spend hours in a toy shop, playing with all these gadgets that move and jiggle and sing and talk. How fantastic they all are. Frogs that sing, father Xmas's that dance and reindeer that glow......dolls that drink, cars that somersault...oh such fun.
Every year the Xmas tree is a different colour/colours. This year is blue and silver - and isn't it beautiful. The lights will go up soon, and everyone in the streets will be able to see Father Xmas on his sled, and a snow man, and a big "Happy Xmas" sign.
African Xmas's are far from the snowy beauty of Europe, but sunny Xmas's are beautiful too. All the trees and flowers in their glorious full bloom.
Will be missing all the glowing faces of the little people this year, but have all the brightly wrapped boxes ready to take with for them in the new year.
