Another Christmas now is past
a Santa sack full of memories made.
Of smiles and laughter, and love expressed
as gifts were shared, and games were played.
And carols were sung across the world,
and fires were lit, in houses both big and small
and hearts overflowed with emotions raw, and new
remembering those we’ve lost, but warmed by those held close.
And as the days of Christmas fall silently behind
hope stirs in our hearts, for what is to come.
A new year ahead, an unwritten page,
an adventure waiting,
a new journey…….yet to be taken.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL X.
Love Alison xx

I hope you have all had a really Happy Christmas. Christmas colds have meant some rest days needed so I thought I would re-blog a post from a Christmas past with a few photos of Christmas present added in. Wishing you all a really Happy New Year and thankyou so much for following my Peak District Blog.
