Just want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and wonderful holidays and best wishes for 2009.

I just thought I would share a picture of the Pohutukawa tree ( Metrosideros excelsa)
This NZ Native tree is a coastal evergreen tree, of the myrtle family that produces a brillant display of red flowers made up of a mass of stamens.
They flower in December so makes a delightful outdoor Christmas tree.

Hugs

A very happy Christmas to you Carolyn, what a pretty tree, all we have right now is bare branches and it's a bit cold out there. We'll walk the dogs later. We always dress them up with tinsel around their necks on their Christmas day walk, silly I know, but we've always done it.

Hugs, Jane. bear_thumb bear_flower

Sounds like real fun Jane bear_flower
We used to always dress Heidi up with tinsel and bells on her walk ~ to get her in the Christmas spirit.

Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas Jane and enjoy your dog walk!

Victoria is up in London with her two friends staying at the Brompton Hotel and going for Christmas dinner at the Thistle.
They are enjoying a cold Christmas over there, as the weather is normally warm over here.
They went to the German market at Hyde Park and enjoyed ice skating at the Winter wonderland.

Hugs
Carolyn

Wow - that is SO pretty!
It's BLEAK here in Germany - cold and grey, but not cold enough for snow...........
and as for dressing up Nounours for her walk - I did something really NAUGHTy last year - took along a pocket full of glittery Xmas sprinkles (trees, stars and such) and scattered them thru the village.........they lasted on the pavements for MONTHS - boy did I feel guilty!!!!!!!!!!!
Again - happy Xmas everyone
big huggies
