Christmas Spirit

It's starting to feel like Christmas

This year has flown by so fast and the last few months I've been so busy at work that all I wanted was the year to end and my Christmas - New Year holidays to begin.

The Christmas spirit just wasn't coming through and the enthusiasm for Christmas was really waning.

But my holidays have begun and the tree is up and it's finally starting to feel like Christmas.

I started a tradition after my son was born to buy an ornament each for my daughter and son. Even though they've grown up, the thrill of buying them an ornament still continues.

So here they are for this year




My card this year for Christmas


Wish you all Peace Love and Joy this Christmas and always.  Have a Blessed one.


The Thursday Challenge this week is a favourite photo for 2013. There were so many and so hard to choose.

So I closed in on some and not surprising they all seemed to be of the sky. The sky is so fascinating but the moon is mesmerising and when you have both you can't help be drawn to it.

And so I chose this picture:






Like my facebook page Suzy's Ilation  and if one of your posts needs some tlc, add it to the goodwill thread there so I can drop by and give it some love.

    I hope to get the tree up this weekend, with some of the ornaments my parents gave me. My work has been busy, too. I hope we both can enjoy the time at home.
