Christmas is coming

Some of the parcels are wrapped

 - and posted away.

Some parcels have arrived 

and await a place under the Christmas tree.

The Christmas tree in the church is decorated,

and the Nativity has been set up.

Today along the main road of town 

the Christmas tree is being erected.

All I have to do is finish wrapping my parcels 

and write out and post my cards.

I love this time of year,

especially as it gets closer to Christmas.

I know some people think it's a hassle

 but I love the hustle and bustle, 

the crowds and the noise,

the kids excitement (and sometimes tears),

the end of year school concerts and other functions,  

the decorations in the streets and shops,

the carols and songs

and the busyness of it all.

So I wish you all a hassle free December

and a wonderful Advent

as we lead up to Christmas

and the celebration of the birth of Christ.
