Another Christmas

Another ChristmasA time of mirth and laughter:My heart misses you

Listening to carols Thinking of old friends: Must be Christmas Again

I took these photos on Thursday night in Bondi Junction. Every year the two Westfield centres are beautifully decorated for Christmas and this reindeer display is my favourite; it hangs down across all six levels and is exquisite when the light catches it just right.

It always amazes me how quickly the season seems to come around each year… it hardly feels like more than a few months since last Christmas. Time goes by so quickly these days.

I enjoy the time of year but it always feels a little bittersweet to me as well as I often think about family and friends overseas and others who are no longer in our lives. I guess that's what was on my mind when I wrote the haiku, the mixed feelings the season often brings.
