A wish and our main road Christmas lights on show.
Some lovely starlight sights to see here in our little town.
Christmas for many is a time for getting together with their families in peace love and happy conversations. A time of festivities, eating drinking and for many also dancing.
Handing out gifts to excited faces and watching the glee on the faces when they open the gifts. Shouts of joy and happy laughter, especially from the children.
After a tough year everyone deserves a happy break.
So here is one of my handmade specials for all of you. Don't laugh as it is my own photo that I doctored in a simple way, but the wishes come from our hearts.
Okay, now let's have a look at the lights in the main road of the town.
Now watch how that second light, a star, changes in the next photo. It starts with a blank and only an outline.
And here that second star flashes into full color.
I remember the Christmas times of my youth and there were always just the 5 of us. My gran, mom, 2 sisters and me. Happy times and presents didn't matter, as there was no money for them. My mom was the only breadwinner.
Then as youngsters we all 3 of us left the house, got ourselves jobs, got married and had children. My son was my 21st year birthday present and my third child was born in the year of my 23rd birthday.
As the kids grew up we started having big Christmas parties, up to 15 children with their parents and it was always a mad house. Food, drinks and gifts all over the place.
To cut a long lifetime story short, for the past 20 years and today there's only 2 of us at Christmas time. Me and my wife and we don't do gifting for ourselves. In fact we do gifting through @papilloncharity to thousands of poor children and orphans out there.
Not for the past 3 years though, as Papillon has relocated to another province and we left all of our funders behind, as they concentrate their funding in our old province.
But in time, I am sure that we will build our funding up again to continue what we do for the children at Christmas time.
This is also a great and sincere thank you to every special soul here on hive that supports our work.
May all the good that you do be seen in heaven and be returned unto you 10 fold.
And That's All Friends!
