PHOTOFANTASTIC

December 24th quite a few of my original plans got changed as I got an offer to tag along with my brother back home, which I was more than happy to do. And since my morning had been a slowly one, suddenly I could see I wouldn't be able to make it in time to do a blog before I left. I had a nice quiet and simple Christmas with my brother and his family in law, now it is 1st Christmas day where people will look and talk about the gifts they got, have a long walk from the Christmas dinner and get ready maybe for the left over.  Sadly all snow melted off and there was not that much snow in Malmoe, Sweden either.... Here a belated  Merry Christmas, the wolf photo is 2 years old, though one of my favorites too. And thank you to those who followed my December post here and shared it....  :-) Simple Christmas tree Nephew with a mini mohawk having a ball at the table...

So yesterday the 22nd December, I was rather tired, grocery shopping with too many other people out there, watched a bit of TV, fell asleep and went onto reading the latest new book from Author Jussi Adler-Olsen, the 5th book in the series of The Q department. I had promised to have it read before the 24th so my mother could get the book back... all done, so I can start on the next lines of books waiting for me... So today I had to return the book and went into Copenhagen to give it to a family member. So while I was in there, the snow started and the wind picked up more and more.  Nex time they say it will be very windy and snowstorm, I'm going to get a pair of skiing glasses, it was rather hard to look up from the streets to be sure you walked in the right direction.... Today is the 4th and last Advent day of this year as well "Little Christmas day"... many will celebrate it with those they can't be with on Christmas day, or just be together the day before.... ...

December 20th was skipped as I had a slow day, so today I took some time to go outside and enjoy the good sunny weather and very cold as well... bbrrr... As I strolled around the street of city centre of Copenhagen, I couldn't help but notice people walking around to find the last Christmas gift, or go for a cafe late, meeting friends, or like me just walking around enjoying the city. Before I left Copenhagen and get back home to get some warmth back, I stopped by this fair called Tivoli, which is pretty much right in the center of Copenhagen, next to the main train station as well (makes it fairly easy to get back home afterwards as well....).  Usually you go into Tivoli doing the summer season, but the past few many years Tivoli have been open throughout December wtih the theme of winter and Christmas, you get the idea. Sometimes they change the theme every now and then every year or like this time they've kept it as it was last year I believe. It is something to be seen ...

So had a down day yesterday, spent it most of the day sleeping away... either a sleeping bug or something else has it grip on me. Today has been a rainny day and I don't have a photo for todays blog... These days I would mostly start shipping Christmas cards to family and friends, specially the friends I've chatted with for some years now. There is nothing like opening your mail box to see envelopes with a Christmas card inside. Granted in these eletronictical times it is easier to send an email, I would still wagger a Christmas card you have written yourself beats it by miles. This year however I have to cut down on those Christmas cards, however, I wonder, do you send a Christmas card or do you do it by email nowadays??? The image below is found on the internet and does not belong to me.  I found it on google search: http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.dk/2011/11/vintage-chiristmas-clip-art-beautiful.html

So with 9 or 10 days to Christmas, a friend of mine on twitter is yearnig for spring / summer to come. I like the change of season and sure at some point in the beginning of the New Year I will look forward for spring to come too.... Today's photos are for her....

Another day and the snow is still here.... I wonder for how long and will it be here for Christmas?? From a late walk, I passed this Christmas tree all lit up and I'm sure by now there are quite a few who has decorated their Christmas tree at home... So many lights on the Christmas tree.... One of many Christmas tree I've walked by all lit up in the darkness.... The tree stands in front of "The open air musuem" / Frilandsmuseet
