Long live the Christmas!

I am thinking... we rushing into the Christmas ... decorating, shopping earlier and earlier every year... I remember as a child my mama stayed up the whole night before Christmas and when we children woke up Christmas morning the whole house was decorated... And we joyed the Christmas long time after Twelfth Night (maybe my mama have it up a little bit too long) but my point is... why do we not enjoy longer? Why take down the tree Christmas day? So here we go! Enjoy Christmas! And Happy New Year and I wish you a wonderful 2019!
This autumn only girls get born in our family and friends, so just at the beginning of Christmas a new little girl was born. So we have an Augusti girl, September girl, Oktober girl and a little December girl. The following mama and babies bouquets are to September and December girls.
The week before Christmas and my sweet friend Kitty wanted to bouquets to her practice. So I made a sober Christmas white for her treatment room, a wish from her and a colourful Christmas one for her entrance.
I reading a Dutch course for beginners at CVO. Here are my lovely classmates from Syrien, Spain, Palestina, me Sweden and Afghanistan. I made a Christmas bouquet to my teacher Marc.
My Scandinavian girlfriends and I catch up just before Christmas for a Merry Christmas evening. To my friend Lotta did I made this bouquet.
A couple of days before Christmas did I made a Swedish Christmas evening for some Belgien friends. Salmon mix, haring in different sauces, ham with mustard crunch, moose sausage, Swedish cheese " prästost" that means the Priests cheese, do not ask me way :-) ...
I decorated and we sang a song to the Swedish "nubbe" , snaps. The song is to enjoy life when you can and have fun, life is so short and hard, take time to enjoy ... " Hej tomtegubbar slå i glasen..." Like I use to say; do not forget to flower your life !!!
The towel on the plates is from my grandmother. Early 1900, before she got married. woven linen towels. I love them!
As placing cards did I decorated gingerbreads.
I wish you a HAPPY COLORFUL FLOWERING YEAR!
