And I too love the bauble flying off the tree.<br />You will have the best ever Christmas cards this year.<br />I make my Christmas cards every year but one year my oldest son did the best drawing of our tree with the Star War toys he wanted under the tree. It was a black ink drawing and like Origami Boy's drawing filled with fun, happiness and energy.<br />Best card ever.<br /><br />cheers, parsnip<br />angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-33796361043550329922012-12-04T19:14:15.915+00:002012-12-04T19:14:15.915+00:00Hope you had a lovely time up there.

He definitely has talent.<br /><br />I find the holidays depressing for no other reason than I am unable to decorate and cook like I used to nor go walking. I love this time of year and hate not to be able to walk in the woods looking for shed antlers. Hopefully your depression will pass soon.<br /><br />Your photos really show the Moors as they are this time of year, very bleak and cold.Gail H.
