Re: Christmas !!!!!!!
Sometime after Friday's post, the site got hacked. Good grief! Is nothing sacred? Anyway, whatever I wrote on this subject appears to have gone into the ether. Ah, well, what's new about that?
Main point I was making, though.....a bullseyebarb Christmas is sans commercialism. Oh, sure, when you have young children in the household, Father Christmas is going to put in an appearance. But after that, why?
The bullseyebarb Christmas consists of heading out into the forest to gather fresh greenery and berries. Decorations, (which begin to appear around the end of November), consist of candles, Nativities and an extensive collection of miniature Victorian buildings and figurines. Our own little town, (illuminated), - with frozen pond for ice-skating under a full moon. A nice log fire if it gets cold enough. But no gift buying. People don't know how we get away with this.....but, boy, are they envious.
