Faint glow...

There were some left over serial lights and mom just spread them over a bunch of decorative flowers in a vase. The effect was beautiful as seen below... the soft mesmerizing glow changed the mood of the room, made it more magical and dreamy.

Christmas at home...

A few pictures taken this Christmas...

The crib and the tree

The nativity scene...

The wise men following the star...

The tree...

My room, with a paper doily wreath...

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

Memories of December...

So while going through some old pictures, I came across this beautiful one... the soft lights of the Christmas tree seen through an embroidered curtain. I remember I had just finished preparing something for Antonio to eat and as I was walking back to my bedroom, the glowing lights stopped me in my tracks and for some reason the whole beauty of it made me inexplicably happy... the whole season of Christmas has this effect on me. Anyway, I wanted to capture the moment, and this is the result.
