Favourite Things …

I have too many favourite things. In fact more and more becomes in favour … (it's a Tantra benefit)

Do you love to hate Christmas?
@federica is trying to freeze herself via modified tumo. I personally am hoping to have a family sit down meal for Santas birthday.

I must say so many things are enjoyable when you relax beyond them …

Cue Neo Julie Andrews …
Happy Christmas!

I always love Christmas… though I tend to celebrate it in miniature…

These I bring out every year and I put them on my windowsill.

But celebrating Christmas in the Netherlands is different, the gift giving is done at St Nicolaas on the 5th of December, and Christmas itself is more a religious holiday.

I am leaving for Edmonton today. Mrs Walker and her dad have a few more things to do here, and will come in a few days. He's going to spend a bit of time with us, including Christmas, and come back after New Year to get some things done around the place to get it ready for sale in the spring. They had both planned on moving back to Alberta, and now it will be just Dad.

Christmas will be different this year without Mum. The last difficult and hectic six or so weeks, we've kind of bonded as a trio. I'm hoping that we have a good Christmas together, enjoying each other's company and having good memories of past holidays.

I'm baking ginger bread cookie people and having a decorating party today or tomorrow with Michelle and Mom.

I am happiest not celebrating commercial consumer xmas. However my tribe likes to pretend Satan Santa is real, like bugs bunny at Easter.

Here is Baby Jesus

Some of my favourite things…
… the look of chilly mist out the window while I am drinking my coffee
… bicycle rides through the forest
… the quiet of the early mornings when I have accidentally awoken
… cooking a meal from a recipe which I have not cooked before
… the feeling of echoing silence in a deserted church

Ah ha!

• Each new moment, a present
• Nature nurtures us, we may even be a part. Our best diet efforts involve fruit and veg unsynthesised. Ever done an apple meditation? Dharma to the core.
• Pets. We have a pet robin … well wild pet. More feathery than furry …
• Familiars and fiends … oops read that wrong … dharma family and friends. Good company

Many thanks @Lionduck 💗
