FAMILY, FRIENDS, FOOD, FEELINGS AND FUN ........

Tonight is one of my favourite nights of the year .... Christmas Eve.

Since I was a small child, on Christmas Eve we have sat in front of the television and watched Carols by Candlelight from the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne.

Carols by Candlelight is an annual event on Christmas Eve, that is held to raise money for Vision Australia.

Thousands and thousands of candles held up in the air and waved from side to side.

 

Santa is always there to entertain the children of all ages.

Children sing by candlelight.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, places to go, people to see, but it's good to know that there is family to share the day with.

Working in the morning

{ family }

Will see my brother, his wife and their two little children 

{ family }

Then I'm off to deliver a meal to a friend

Then on to have lunch with my son and his girlfriend and family at her place

{ more family }

Then I'm guessing it will be back home again

to sleep and recuperate.

Most people seem to need to find time to rest and relax after a pretty busy week.

Christmas to me is about the Saviour and his birth first and foremost, and the gift that he is to the world.

Christmas is about giving: gift giving and giving of your time.

Christmas is about 

Family

Friends

Food

Feelings

Fun

 

To all my blog friends have a wonderful day tomorrow ..... Have a wonderful Christmas.  Appreciate what you have.  Enjoy the time that you have with your family and friends.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

AND

A HAPPY NEW YEAR
