Xmas Trees

 Xmas trees this year


My daughter's Christmas Decor
I've tried to enlarge this photo but can't
In the middle of that red circle are two green legs and red Elfin boots of an exotiko who has dived head first into her tree


A stormy Poros waterfront and its boat of lights
We need to do a tour of the Poros Christmas lights.  
Last year we had hardly any decorations.  This year the new Mayor has lit up every corner


Our own, shorter,  Christmas tree up on the bench.
I have since arranged gnomes and presents underneath it too


The coffee shop, La Frianderie, just across the strait
They have the best coffee in the county and always have wonderful decorations, inside and out.
I had coffee with my English friend Jan there last weekend.  It was warm and cosy inside and a little wet outside.
We drank our cappuccinos and caught up on the news.
They also  have an excellent selection of handmade chocolates and biscuits.  I bought a few to fill in empty corners in Christmas parcels.

  2. The coffee shop sounds wonderful. I love real ground coffee. None of that instant or ghastly tea.

    1. Wish I could show all the lights inside and out. The whole darn house is lit up like a Xmas tree after dark

  4. I’m glad the new Mayor is better at decorating than the last one. Seeing the place all lit up and pretty brings so much joy to everyone.

    1. Elli has house full of gnomes and elves, exotika here. One in her tree is not a surprise

  6. My tree is rubbish! I did think of buying a fresh one this year, but we don't have the space. My cheap imitation one has to suffice!

  7. Every year I envy this pre-Christmas atmosphere. I love colors and lights and joy so much.
