Celebrating the coming of Light






Christmas...time to celebrate the winter solstice, getting together with family, feasting, bringing a tree into the home, decorating with Holly and Ivy, lots of candles, getting cozy, slowing down, watching movies, going for long walks, sleeping, talking, making plans and of course exchanging gifts. This year we had a family feast at our home on the 22nd where we exchanged gifts. Then on the Sunday 24th we flew to Switzerland to see my cousin and his family in a teeny village in the hills over looking Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc. We had a wonderful time, very very chilled. The boys had a great time playing with their cousins. It was such a brilliant way to celebrate Christmas - we were forced to slow right down and really enjoy the holiday and being together.
