The real Christmas

I believe in a Christmas beyond the shopping mall and their beautifful songs. I believe in a Christmas that lasts a lot more than my Christmas tree and the decorations. I believe in a Christmas that may not have a Christmas Party. I believe in a Christmas that brings joy when the family is gonne. I believe in a Christmas that does not bring Santa Claus and his bag. I believe in a Christmas that is not allways that pretty.. I believe in a Christmas that is not seasonal, but transforms lifestyles, even when we already are "nice persons". I believe in a Christmas that had a cost in order to be Christmas. I believe in a Christmas like this because..
When a baby was born, the whole universe was filled with HOPE.. Salvation had arrived!

a nice weekend to you all..

I had a pine tree in a terracota pot that I used to bring inside every year on December 1st and decorate it for the hollidays. Apparently I won't be able to bring it inside anymore.. it's gonne.. MY Christmas Tree is gonne! But.. well I made this.. and I'm working on a bigger one :)

it feels so goood to be home :)
