Lots of last minute preparation for Christmas including a much needed hair cut. I’m in two minds about Christmas. I love the tradition and being with family. I grimace at the consumerism which is why we’ve tried to edge toward more thoughtful gifts. In a perfect hippy dippy world we would make our gifts – crafts, poetry, letters, paintings – gifts that convey meaning and take thought and time to create. Gifts that arrive in slow motion, not over night shipped. I may not have fully gotten to that place this year, but the intent and mindful desire is there. Happy Christmas Eve.

Mah Mah went to town!

Morning chunder and cuddles

Another trip to Waitrose

Loving the spicy tomato soup for lunch

Last of the leftovers from the family gathering

Chatty date night. What is your word for next year? Opportunity. Balance.

Wishing Australia a Merry Christmas
