Chirstmas is the season of Love, Joy and Happiness. This is also the time when we decorate our house, put up stars, lights and a Christmas tree to bring in festive mood and cheer.
I love putting up the Christmas tree and decorating it, and as a ritual we have been doing it regularly at home. Usually put up during the Advent season, the first sunday of December, I manage to get the men at home join me in this endeavour. Advent season Focuses on expectation and it serves as an anticipation of Christ's birth in the season leading up to Christmas.
When Dennu was small, he was all enthusiastic about these stuff and now he is kind of aloof. I still managed to get him into this tradition. To a comment on FB where my niece asked my son, if he helped in the decorations at home, he has replied stating, If you can consider watching someone do it, I have done lots of help.
So, I thought I will share the pictures of my Christmas tree that we have put up this year. I had lost our 10 year old tree to the floods last year, so this is a new one, though most of the ornaments on the tree are the ones that i have collected over a period of time. some are even 20 years old. Wow right?

I am having lots of trouble commenting on your blog. Have no idea why, but the comments just disappear :( Just to let you know that I read and comment on all your posts. Just that sometimes the comments come and sometimes they disappear !
May be because of the comment moderation, it does not appear. I was on a week's sabbatical from the virtual world for the last week of the year and was focussing on family that came visiting from distant places. normally, I do publish the comments within probably 10 -12 hours or lesser.
DeleteThank you for the reassurance ( though i know you would read my posts. As I have always mentioned, you are a very valuable friend and i have always been a big fan of your blogs. so when are you restarting it? :-) :-)
