I have decided to write a Christmas Blog , I ve been deliberating on it for quite a while because I think I have got abundant of material that I can use for this blog and most importantly it will give me an excuse to show some of the christmas  pictures that I have taken through the years. I am very excited to finally start this blog .Everyday till next christmas. I hope everyone will enjoy reading and browsing through the post.

My favourite Christmas albums are these three albums by Jim Reeves, Brenda Lee and Pat Boone. Pat Boone was my father first Christmas vinyl, I like the jingle bell version he sang. I haven't heard anyone that has sung in such a version. Christmas wouldn't be complete without these albums. No doubt there are many new Yuletide songs in the market today but these are evergreen and nostalgic.

Christmas markets are  traditional market during advent in Europe. It originated from German ,the popular ones being held in Nuremberg and Dresden but there were many more in Europe. Over here nearer to Christmas we had the expatriate community organising their yearly Christmas Charity Bazaars which they held in one of the five star hotels. There were about 100 booths taking part and you will be spoilt for choice. I had been faithfully attending these bazaars annually. I enjoyed very much the festive atmosphere and being able to savour home made European cookies and cakes. Every year I and my son Jonathan look forward to attending a few of these bazaars.
