A New York Christmas.
Christmas is more than a feeling.
Christmas how do you capture it? Christmas for different people means different things, it's true that as you get older Christmas changes. What initiates Christmas is it the sales of wrapping paper in July , is it the ground making John Lewis advert (poor bear ) is it the consumption of a glut of mince pies in November because they run out on the 30 November.
Also is the frantic case of bauble rage as you sit there threading cotton the umpteenth (insert word fudge buckets) one , only as you hang them up the cotton unravels .
I'll be honest this year I have not stepped one foot in town choosing to order stuff on line this it is quite different from the hustle and bustle of a New York Christmas some years ago and you know I miss it.

I miss the sounds.
I miss the family moments.
And I believe in Christmas for what is Christmas without belief.
Just looking at those crowds is enough to put me off lol but I can understand how amazing it must have been for you. X
