It starts with a corner of our tiny house, cleared for action …
As with all things I gotta have a strong foundation
Mrs Widds and I would love to have a living tree, but we have nowhere to plant it after the Season, so we ‘grow’ our very own …
OK, it’s not much but I gotta start somewhere
Usually we put it up on Christmas Eve and take it down on new years day. This year the Solstice called us …
This is fun
Each year on Christmas Day the Widder-kin would gather in our house and food and laughter and games and stories would be shared …
Ooooh, I’m feeling kinda stretch-y
But this year we’re having our first ‘just-the-two-of-us’ Christmas since moving here to Widder Island …
EMEGHERD! Lights! I’m glowing!
Well, not quite. Around midday we’ll pack up the presents and goodie baskets (Mrs Widds bakes some mean goodies!) and trundle off to a Widder-kin house and have (more) food and laughter and games and stories there …
This is some serious light-age
This year we have time to just potter … and call in the new year when the night is longest … (so glad to see the tail of the old one!)
I’m all shiny and sparkly for the new year
And finish off our celebration with some rather scrumptious chocolates …
Now that you mention it, quite a few have gone missing since this picture was taken
May the Turn of the Seasons bring you the changes you have wished for.
See you in 2017
Happy everything.

Interesting. In our house, we are watching the dismantling of the tree courtesy of three cats who think it’s a giant green cat toy with a pine fresh scent.

Mrs Widds got the angel for Christmas of 1972! She’s been repaired and taped back together many times. 😀 … when I do the lights I tie a few together so they shine through her wings and halo.
