So, Christmas is over and I'm back in Miami where (for Miami standards) it's pretty cold but the sky is clear and the sun is shining... By the way, I'm not complaining.
Christmas dinner at my parents house was very nice and full of people. The children enjoyed opening their presents as a preview to what Santa was going to leave for them later and gave the rest of us our gifts as they said who was it from.
Over the years people have been giving my mom as Christmas gifts little nativities that she displays on top of a sideboard in her dining room. The nice thing about them is that they all come from different countries and they are molded in the traditions of each place. They are from Kenya, Bolivia, Guatemala and other places.
Have a nice day... I'm going out to enjoy the great sales going on!
Lovely images, I am sure excited for the New Year to come!
