Christmas is here....

How do I know Christmas has come home?

Annikki makes a series of purchases, every year, and there is one which actually tells me that the season of giving has come into our home. And it is not the Christmas tree.

Annikki has decided that she does not particularly like having the Christmas tree indoors, as after Christmas, the pine needles drop all over the floor. It is a tedious piece of work to clean it up.

The arrival of the red flower is what heralds Christmas into our home. Yesterday evening, Annikki brought this home, along with some hyacinths, which should flower and give out their beautiful smell in a few days.
