Margaret, I am always hopeful that things will turn out. The possibilities are endless. Wishing you and your family the merriest of Christmases and the happiest new years!
you’re spinning a great yarn Margaret! Happy and peaceful Christmas to you and yours and to many more encounters between UK and Switzie in 2025! Joyeux Noël et bonne année
Well that’s a decoration I like. I’m not fond of all the flashing tat some people put all around their houses. I suppose I’m a bit of a Christmas grinch 💚
I’m not sure where you are spending Christmas, but have a good time and here’s wishing the entire world peace at last 🙏
A quiet Christmas at home, just the two of us, though it gets a bit more exciting after that. I’m DEFINITELY a Christmas grinch. A shop with Muzak on has me scuttling out before I’ve purchased anything. And you have a good Christmas too Jude. And we can wish for world peace, but ….
A very real situation depicted there! Love it. I share your hope for 2025 with all my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 because I might be flying in the face of the evidence! Have a lovely day tomorrow x
You’re right about it reflecting real life! Have a lovely day too. Though being from North of the border, you’re doubtless saving yourselves for New Year.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
Merry Christmas, Margaret! Off to Lotherton Hall to see Santa soon. Have a lovely time and all the best for next year xx
