(silver bells)

when i was a young girl i lived for a time in Boston with my father

at christmas time carolers would stand outside our brownhouse and sing

silver bells

-it's christmas time in the city-

  1. Newbury Street….so close.

    Now that I think of it, I've never known anyone to carol sing door-to-door in Australia.

  2. I inherited my mom's Santa collection - including a full sized one. He is a handful to store after the holidays. I would imagine how festive Boston could be right in the city (daughter goes to school right outside of Boston - husband's aunt used to live on Commonwealth Ave.) I enjoyed your little details of the holiday. Merry Christmas!

  5. I really like the snow covered Santa and his reindeer. It really does capture the lighter side of Christmas.

  6. I love your big Santa and the Christmas tree. I also remember caroling when I was a kid in Albuquerque in the neighborhood.

    I love your blessing also, thank you for that.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
