Hello and welcome to my Christmas blog.  There's just something special about this time of year. Whether it's the music, decorations, pictures and smells or just the fact people are nicer, it's a time like no other.  For me personally, it's a lot to do with anticipation, excitement and nostalgia, remembering people and times gone by.  To me it's not just a season -- it's a feeling . . . 

How
can I
explain
how this
time of year
makes me feel.
It’s about seeing
the innocence of wee
children and feeling the
all-pervading feelings of
anticipation and joy and the
excitement at what's on its way
to us. For me it's not about gifts
or religion. It's the music, the songs,
the decorations and the way people are
nicer to one another.

It is
Xmas
