The Spirit of Christmas Past

Christmas 2002 or it might be 2003 I can't remember!  Anyway, Mum and Dad flew out to join me in Istanbul for what turned out to be one of the best times and Christmas celebrations I think we'd ever had - at least since childhood. When I look at the photo, both in their seventies, it seems they were already well into enjoying their second one !   Bless them, miss them.

This is my 'Throwback Thursday' project on the theme of "Christmas Past", just for two weeks - today and next week (Christmas Eve).  If you would like to join me please tag your entry "Christmas Past".  Any interpretation of the theme of 'the Spirit of Christmas Past"  for some Festive Fun :)
