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.

Lovely gifts!
Merry Christmas to you and family once again~
Indeed. Same to you and your loved ones. 🙂
OMG Arthur. The photo with the elephant pillows! Your eye for photographic detail let you down, one of the pillows is not correct. People will think so untidy we are!!
Merry Christmas to you, Lucy and Melissa. Miss the joyous laughter around our house these last few days.
This doesn’t sound like you, Simon…must be Shereen commenting. The other day, she commented as “suituapui”! Alamak!!! I was absolutely baffled! Muahahahahaha!!!!!
Same to you all, miss the delightfully wonderful company – no mood for anything…spoilt our Christmas. 😉
Ya…I noticed the cushion but actually, I would prefer them strewn all over – like very well-lived in… All so nicely arranged, spick and span…I would not dare to sit down even. Hehehehehehe!!!!! But actually, I wasn’t the one who did that – if I had sat there, I would put it back in the right position – I’m slightly autistic, I think! Everything must be in perfect order….😀
Merry Christmas to you & your family. Have a blessed Christmas!
You too. Thanks. 🙂
Adoi!!!!Now the whole world will see how untidy my house is* face palm*..lol! Lovely post today, Arthur and Happy Xmas to you and all at home. House is rather quiet without you guys.
PS: we love your Christmas present to us..so cute and lovely and SO VERY EXPENSIVE!!!..and missing 2 members of the family.. Hehehe.
Hmmm…don’t think we can buy such nice things here – least of all, pugs! You said you can make…go, go make them. I’ve saved you the trouble of making the three already. Hehehehehehe!!!!!
Where got untidy? So neat, so clean….not like my house. Tsk! Tsk! 😦 That was why I asked if you had a cleaner come in once or twice a week. I am very very impressed…
Merry Christmas, Arthur! =)
Same to you.
