		<description>Happy Christmas to you too :-)

I am rather fond of Brussels sprouts but they have to be cooked just right ;-)</description>

		<description>I am still an avid reader and always have several books on the go.

I love candles at any time of year but yes at Christmas they are special.  I have been out visiting friends and now I have a couple burning just before I go to bed.  One is the advent calendar candle which has gone past the 24 marker eventually and one is in a Christmas tree.  I need to try and photograph it so you can see what I mean :-)

Thank you and my very best wishes to you for a Happy Christmas.  I look forward to seeing you in the New Year :-)</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t read much anymore. 
I seem to nod off before finishing the first chapter. :(
But tonight, I have three candles burning. Don&#039;t ask me why three.
No particular reason.
Yes there is, I only have three holders. 
But they are so tied in with - Christmas.
I can remember sixty years ago - candle lit carol services - singing carols outside with lanterns, candle lit. Even our Christmas tree had real candles in those days! :o
So, Christmas and candles are inseparable for me.
Best wishes to you and Mum Cherie.
Have a nice Christmas.
See you next year.
Bernard.</description>
