Went and bought the tree yesterday and decorated it with all our old, favourite decorations. There are Chinese dragons bought in Hong Kong, papier mache leopards, majestic stags and unicorns, cuddly teddies and furry bears, wooden toys from Italy, jolly santas, stars and hearts and strings of blue fairy lights. The loveliest of all are the ones made by little hands at nursery and ones sent as gifts from loved ones, some of whom are no longer here.
Hanging from the curtain rails we have strings of handmade decorations from India featuring elephants, horses and birds, with dancers and riders in fabulous costumes, all in the brightest of colours. And at the base of the tree there are strings of lights made of paper flowers in red and green and others of dancing blue dragon flies.
So this is Christmas 2010. It might even be a White Christmas.
