Advent has ended,
the season of waiting is over
and yet the celebration of Christmas has not ended.
Christmas carols continue here in the 12 Days of Christmas--
traditional melodies mixing with contemporary ones.
Simple decorations continue to be added;
memories of times gone by--
they bring a smile to my face.
New memories being made-
time with family,
awesome weather,
wreaths and garland,
special gifts
and
the smorgasbord that was missing the most important, quite essential food--
herring--
forgotten or lost somewhere in my rush to get everything else :)
The memory of a scrumptious, tender roast beef on Christmas Day
and
of course
sweets for the Farmer Boy
and I.
New this year--pizzelle (bought not made),
which reminded me, in ways, of krumkake.
Similar crisp texture,
also with a beautiful design,
equally fabulous taste.
The season has brought some journeys too-
this one up in the hills was on a beautiful foggy day
And lastly this season has been one of light,
and for that I am grateful.

How has your Christmas been?
