Yesterday was Christmas Day again in our house.  We had two friends over for a day of festivities, with presents, roast duck and all the trimmings, followed by Christmas Pudding.  We wore party hats and pulled crackers and we kept the decorations up specially.  It was lovely.

Today is a day to take down the trees and cards and look forward to 2012.

The hand painted pink bauble in this photo comes out every year.  It is a bauble that used to be on our tree when I was a child so I don’t know how old it is.   I only know it is fragile, small, delicate and precious to me…..
