It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

London is ablaze with Christmas decorations. I had aspirations of capturing some examples in the neighborhood with our camera, but I must admit that in the busyness of the season, my photojournalistic ambitions have fallen by the wayside. Your imagination will have to fill in the blanks.

I have to say that the beautiful Christmas trees and lights and ornaments and creches go a really long way toward alleviating the stress that comes from the holiday season and the nasty, cold weather. The decorations are so ubiquitous that I haven't felt the need to decorate the flat (other than hanging our stockings) -- at least that's the story I'm sticking with this year. (It couldn't just be that I'm lazy, could it?)

Anyway, every time James says, "Look, a Christmas tree!" I think an angel gets its wings. At least it makes me smile.
