The New Year is coming in, filled with hope for us all, after perhaps the most difficult and saddest year we can remember.
May we wish that all your hopes and wishes, dreams and ambitions are fulfilled and that you and those you love have a Happy New Year.
Well, to say that Christmas was 'different' is probably the understatement of the decade - having said that, I hope there were times of joy, and friendship and perhaps some moments of fun for you too. Most of our family were separated from each other so we were fortunate to be able to share the day with one son, and see another and his family for a short time. Thank heavens for modern connectivity so that we can all remain in touch to some degree.
So......I forgot the crackers (next year then), and forgot to switch on the Christmas tree lights until Boxing Day. Our very large chicken tasted great, and is now casserole, soup or frozen. The wine held up.......still not had the Christmas pud....The chocolates will last a long time, and Santa brought us Christmas stockings for the first time in living memory.... we did at least cut the Christmas cake.
In our house all Christmas trappings are removed on New Year's Eve so that the next year starts anew - the law according to my Granny. I suspect that with a large family she was just desperate to have a clear up, but it works for me.
Today's modern miracles are being achieved by scientists, medical researchers, amazing volunteers, medics and nurses, ancilliary workers and the frontline workers, be they in an ambulance or a supermarket. Thank you.
Thank you for looking - Happy New Year.

It's good to read that you still celebrated your Christmas in a certain way, despite all what's happening.
We here celebrated Christmas online by video chat and skype, together with our children and grandson. It is what you make out of it, because due to my health I am in selfisolation since the pandemic started. So meanwhile I am used to it, and yes, we had fun too.
I wish you and your beloved ones a prosperous New Year, and above all good health, dear Robin!
Stay safe, take care.
Warm hugs, Ilona
Unas navidades con sabor agridulce, pero con la esperanza puesta en el futuro, que la salud y la ilusión nos acompañen!
Feliz Año Nuevo!!
Besos.
It's a relief to say goodbye and good riddance to 2020. The vaccine is already here and the future looks brighter.
Happy New Year, to you and yours, dear Robin!
Hugs, Drora
