Lights around the tree
Mama’s whistling
Take me back again
Something about December
*Christmas cheer @ Remuera, Auckland*
We’re hanging mistletoe
And hoping that it snows
I close my eyes and then
I can still remember
How to get back home
*Christmas is in the air @ my friend’s house in Auckland, New Zealand 1*
Let all your memories
Hold you close
No matter where you are
You’re not alone
Because the ones you love are never far
If Christmas is in your heart
*Christmas is in the air @ my friend’s house in Auckland, New Zealand 2*
Who really needs a gift
When love is meant to give
*Christmas (& birthday) presents from my friend & her family to the Wee’s*
I can still recall
Carry with me always
*Layer cake from Lavender from Mandy*
Every Christmas dream
They live in you and me
*Christmas presents from Quay Po Cooks*
Let all your memories
Hold you close
No matter where you are
*Christmas is in the air @ my friend’s house in Auckland, New Zealand 3*
You’re not alone
Because the ones you love are never far
If Christmas is in your heart
*The Three Wise Men @ Cambridge, New Zealand*
Lights around the tree
Mama’s whistling
Take me back again
There’s something about December
*Nativity scene @ Cambridge, New Zealand*
Let all your memories
Hold you close
No matter where you are
You’re not alone
Because the ones you love are never far
If Christmas is in your heart
You’re not alone
A BLESSED CHRISTMAS TO ONE & ALL. MAY THE JOY AND LOVE OF THE SEASON FILL YOUR HOMES & YOUR HEARTS TODAY AND EVERY DAY THROUGHOUT THE COMING YEAR.
