Our Little Town...

good morning!

although up early this morning

i have been enthralled by your posts

so haven't got 'round to posting my own little story...

today i thought i'd just share a few pictures

of the town Christmas tree!

i think it is really retro

it's not even nearly sophisticated or up-to-the-minute

its not either funky or zen

but it's a tradition in our town.

every year in the midst

of our beautifully manicured

garden roundabout...

it sits up on its own high pole

dominating the intersection!

i wonder how many generations of children

have gazed up at this tree,

thinking to themselves...'it can't be long now 'til Christmas!'

and getting a jump of excitement on the inside.

i took this picture this morning

at 7 am

in the fresh morning sunshine

before the day got going.

i didn't want to be in trouble

for taking pics inadvertantly of number plates and faces of strangers...

and posting them on this 'great world stage'!

so the intersection was empty

and peaceful

and just a bit Christmassy!

what Christmas decorating has your town done on tuesday?

ps. Christmas Hearts is coming to a post here soon!
