It's 8am Christmas morning and the Children have been up since before 5..the excitement of stockings :o)
Now they have retreated for a nap ..it is snowing, the woodstove is hot and I am having a huge breakfast cup of tea. The painting you share is quite beautiful Thank you and the 12 days of Christmas will be a most enjoyable treat we will all enjoy later today..after we've been on a Good Snowy Christmas walk. Wishing you and your loved ones a Very Merry Christmas from Alaskax
Thanks for the link, Brian.
Listening to And Yet Another ... has become one of the Christmas traditions in this home!
