As I sit and write this it’s Boxing Day. I have a fridge full of leftovers and a camera roll on my iPad filled with great pictures of my family sat around the dinner table enjoying their Christmas dinner. I have a few snaps of me, my dad and my brother sat making balloon animals, just like we used to when we were children. Pictures of my son opening his presents, photos of him bouncing on the bed with joy on Chrostmas Eve and pictures of him discovering floury footprints by the fireplace in Christmas morning. A camera roll full of memories sat on a virtual cloud somewhere.
But the picture I’ve chosen it probably one of my favourites, taken at the Christingle service at church, attended by lots of his school friends; carols were sung, Merry Chistmasses wished and I shed a little tear. December has been a long hard slog, but we got there, we made all the way to Christmas unscathed and excited for the days ahead. Christingle always marks the start of our Christmas and we went home and our family celebrations began.
Merry Christmas everyone, hope you’ve had a good one x
Lovely shot – hope you’ve had a good Christmas after the stress of the run-up to it.
I love the Christmas Christingle, I have a favourite photo like this too, he looks like he is concentrating very hard there.
I also love a good Christingle service. Alas, travel plans meant we didn’t get to a service this year. Well done on making it through the month. #MySundayPhoto

I have not heard of Christingle services but some-one looks like they are fully enraptured by what is going on. Glad you had a lovely Christmas and here’s wishing you all the very best for 2016.
