Tuesday 11th December
A little treat, hides behind the
Doors of the advent calendar
Veiled behind some cardboard and foil
Each door has something tasty behind it
Noting the days passing
Towards Christmas Day

Creating light out of darkness
A sign of new things to come
Now that advent is underway each
Decorated candle will be
Lit bringing light to the house and as
Each candle is lit, Christmas comes closer
First day of the countdown

It’s that time of year again, boys and girls
Since a fortnight…. I’ve been putting it off, under the guise of the final days of the poppy celebration and little blisters birthday
However today marks the start of the Advent season, and if I’ve seen one Christmas advert I’ve seen hundreds.
Once again…it’ll be a low key affair. The elves, are currently floating around my sisters place, keeping an eye on my nephews…I’ll have to find something special to go with their regular pressies.
Sparkle!
Childhood, Christmas

The first days of advent always bring an air of magic.
I think it might be the sight of the Christmas tree
bright shiny metallic tinsel draped around the dark green fronds
Deep Reds, Dark Greens, Frosty Whites and Blues
Not forgetting the silver and golds
but even the advent colours of purple and pink look nice in a metallic sheen
who can forget the lights reflecting in the coloured glass baubles ?
and at the top of the tree, a Star or an Angel dancing over the fairy-lit tree
