on this Christmas Eve in Hobart, I wish to thank all of my blog friends for a wonderful year of sharing and caring. It has been busy, it has been eventful, good things and not so good have happened as they do to us all in life. I am spending a quiet day around the pool tomorrow with those most precious to me – my family. Just us, taking time out to enjoy each other and appreciate the special things in our lives.

I wish you all a day full of wonderful memories, hope Santa leaves you lots of stitchy presents under the tree and that 2011 brings even more joy and memories of a wonderful and beautiful life.

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself...
~Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976

hugs for Christmas Day
