Description
Under The Christmas Tree
It isn't the size of the gift that matters, but the size of the heart that gives it. ~
~ Eileen Elias Freeman [ fr. The Angels' Little Instruction Book]

While this lavish pink bow was on a present under a seasonal conifer, not all Christmas gifts are left for their intended under a Christmas tree.
Christmas gift-giving predates itself to pre-Christian Roman times, and Christmas presents around the world are opened on different days, in different ways, in different places. Some customs have them left on doorsteps, in boots or shoes, or hanging stockings (this one derives from jolly old St. Nicholas).
* ---------------------- *
It has been an unusual Christmas for us: we have had two surgeries in our household in the last five weeks. As a result of the unexpected medical issues and caregiving, I have not been able to upload new works for a while. However, I hope to be back on track in the very near future.
This holiday season, have yourself an abundance of wonderful prezzies, a wealth of good health and happiness .... and the jolliest of holiday memories :) ♡

Beautiful! Sorry to hear about the health problems Connie, hopefully things are looking up from now on!
Connie Handscomb replied:
Thank you, dear Linda; they are - not over completely but yes, looking up; medical issues compounded with other things- all happened at once! :))
