Beautiful Sunday, Sublimely So Christmas

in #beautifulsunday5 years ago (edited)


So close we are. The countdown is getting shorter and Christmas is almost here. This post is dedicated to a #BeautifulSunday by @Ace108 and #SublimeSunday by @c0ff33a and just for good measure, we will throw in a #monochrome. Because it's Christmas.

Christmas — that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance — a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved. ~Augusta E. Rundel



Ah, the magic of Christmas. I find it so easy to get swept up in the mystery of it all - the sights, the sounds, the smells, and that warm, enchanting ambiance.


Breathe deeply

It's always good for us to pause
And think awhile of Santa Claus
That jolly symbol we revere
When we approach the changing year
Behind his beard so long and white,
In which our children take delight,
There beats a heart from color free
Which bids all children come to me
-The Spirit of Santa Claus

Capturing a memory ♥

I live so far from home. Every year, I think I should move closer to my childhood, that perhaps life could be just a little bit more. I know that home is a state of mind where life was carefree and love was unconditional. I didn't need to speak to be understood. It is only at Christmas that I miss it in a very concrete way. The rest of the year, I look at it fondly as a place that I was raised until I found my own life. That it is really the people that I miss more than the place itself. 💓💓

Cue the music, Maestro!



The most precious of all of His creations are the children, especially these special angels

Every time I open a box of Christmas decorations, a piece of my childhood comes tumbling out. — at the heart of it all.

How can the day get any better than to be serenaded by carolers? Pick up your coat and hat, folks! It's time to go caroling - door to door. The dancing ladies are brought to you by #monochrome.

Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Let's hold hands around the globe and make this earth really spin. Some days, it is not as easy to see, so we must try harder to give everyone the proper focus.

I do have a wonderful Christmas and I have some family, although I come from such a large family and am used to tons and tons of people running in and out of the house at this time of year.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments and the !tip

Loved your photos, and that wonderful video! That young lady can really sing! 💖

Thank you so much! My whole post was really about this girl, without pointing it out. It was a school for autistic children and they had voices of angels.

Thank you so much!

Thank you, dear! Heading home on Wednesday. My parents told me they cannot wait to see me already. :)

Hehe... Get ready for some uber loving then! :) I knew you were spending Christmas in Finland and leaving the day after. You and everyone else will be traveling that day. Of course, I love the hat. :)

As always @dswigle your festive baubles are a delight to see, your photography brings the season to life - precise and on point it's a pure delight.

Loving the carol singers especially - perfect photo and the embodiment of the festive spirit.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, I hope you all have a very good Christmas.

Merry Christmas @c0ff33a!! Thank you!

I love this post. I would say that it is always about the people more than the place itself. I think that is one of the most wonderful things about a photograph. It is like a memory either in black and white or in color...but a tangible memory that can almost magically transport us across the miles and the years. Merry Christmas, Sunshine. Your posts always warm a place in my heart.

Thank you! It is about the people and that never goes away, unlike places that can be replaced by another more exciting, warmer, colder, friendlier... well, you get it.

You cannot replace a person, but you can substitute other things. Merry Christmas, Old Man. You know I just love making you happy. :)

Well, that and you are so easy to please.

My company left not long ago, can you believe that. I told you always too late lol. It was fun. Anyways I forgot to say I especially enjoyed the singing in the video, especially when you told me about the back story. It pulls at the heart, and that makes it great. Much like the Young at Heart singers. This one always gets me.

Oh well at least it was fun! As soon as you told me about these people oh, I looked them up and listened to them. Wonderful wonderful sound of happy and joy. It's always the back story. Sometimes I wish they would preface things with the back story so I can fully enjoy it. I'm glad you enjoyed the song that I posted because it really touched my heart. Thank you for posting the young at heart singers!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!
