Although our tree boasts a star at the top, the message is the same, guiding lights watching for the surprise, the joy, the suspense of the Christmas season.

I think there may be one present for me under the tree maybe three at most - we buy when we need something not 'because of the season or occasion' hubby has brought me a windproof/waterproof coat I wear it now because I need it now - will be tough enough this year for mum without dad... :-) Hugs jan xx
