I Want You To Speak English

The Christmas feeling of excitement  I usually get this time of year has been very slow in arriving this year. I am not sure why. I don’t know whether it’s because I have had my fair share of bereavement in 2015 and don’t feel much like celebrating, or whether I have arrived at the end of the year feeling tired. It certainly took my husband and I a long time to finally decide to decorate our Christmas tree, but I am glad we made the effort. Our home now has a warm, cosy and comforting feeling. I was trying to think what to write in my last post before Christmas that wasn’t  tinged  with sadness, and after much thought, I decided to find out what Christmas means to people.

I’d like to share them here w
