Twelfth day

The twelfth day of Christmas and time to take down the decorations and put the tree outside. It was an odd Christmas, of course, but I still enjoyed it. The worst thing was not seeing Izzy but there were other things that I really missed, such as our annual get together with our friends, Chris and Janice, and their children.

The presents I bought for them were amongst a handful left under the tree, which have now taken up temporary residence on the dining table. Hopefully it won't be more than a few weeks before we can all get together and reprise the Christmas spirit.
