holiday sparkle

Thank you for your continued patience regarding my blog. Not that you have much of a choice but still 😉 and I truly appreciate everyone here. For now I have some pictures of a simple miniature Christmas scene 🎄 I threw together, if only to

say hi and, whatever you celebrate - if anything, wish you wonderful (holi)days; especially in these weird times where

nothing is normal nor how anyone would like them and a wonderful anything may seem a bit of a stretch.
That of course doesn't take away from wishing it to all.

not all of the lights work anymore, will see if I can fix that someday - I had also glued them
a bit too generously on the top way back when, which was already the second time
and the tree isn't getting any prettier by 'ripping' out those lights again...
Will redo that too while I attempt to fix the lights by then;
no ornaments yet either, sigh... hahaha 😁 I like its perfect imperfection)

How about those Christmas M&M's on the right?
They are muskets from fondant filled Christmas chocolate musketwreaths
from a couple of years ago I kept the red and green ones (as there were also white ones with them)
that I think perfectly resemble peanut Christmas M&M's
(haven't measured them, but they look to scale to me).

a little close up of this adorable package of Christmas cookies from the cabinet (above) and tray (first photo).
Unfortunately I don't remember where I got it from, but I love it so much!

And in the spirit of Christmas and good wishes I like to end this post by sharing some words; the second half of a poem I wrote 3 or 4 years ago, also around the holidays. Simple words that I think apply now more than ever.

 

Fairy lights all around filling the streets

tiny sparks of hope as far as you can see,

symbolic for the wishes many of us share
for an upgraded world, one in which everyone cares
about others and the sacredness of all life,
compassion and inclusion what I see
in this new, harmonious world
embracing our divinity.

🎄🎇💜🙏💝 I wish you all a wonderful 2022 , that it may be positively different from this one and move us into a direction of a truthful, free and above all truly loving global society where we can come together more and more in ways we have never seen before. Take care dear ones,
