It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I haven't got a Christmas tree up this year as I will be in Sydney with the family for Christmas and am not having any gatherings here beforehand.  Sheer laziness perhaps however I do have a wreath outside and some lights on the Port Wine Magnolia at the front which is sort of my nod for a Christmas tree.

I can't believe we are only a week away.   The year has just flown by.

Nothing much else to report, it's been a very quiet day at home today.
