My Christmas Card to all my friends on 365. Posting it early to make sure it arrives in every household of my friends as busy times are ahead.
I have a story to tell about the Baby Jesus in this card and it goes decades ago.
Well, when Christine and I got married very close to 50 years ago, We had a Baby Jesus of around 8 inches which we set up as part of our decorations for Christmas ( we still have it and make use of it during this season). Each time I looked at shop windows and saw the bigger ones on display I was always tempted to get me one of them. So one day during our preparations for Christmas, I saw one cute Baby Jesus twice the size of the one we had in a local shop being offered as a prize in a lottery. I don’t participate in lotteries but this time I decided to try my luck and guess what, I won it. Very happy, I ran to the shop to claim my prize, went straight home with it, arranged a table where to put it and as I was putting it in place complete with its manger, the statue toppled over, fell to the floor and broke into several pieces. It was a Saturday and we were preparing to go out, but I was so disappointed that I put on jeans and sweater, drove to Valletta to a shop that sells religious items and bought me a new one very similar, if not the same, as the one I had won. And this is the one I bought.
Thank you for all your views, comments and fav's. Another dull day and I have Max with me today.
That's a wonderful photograph and message, Dione! This doll has the most sweet face and after the original mishap must have made your Christmas a good one too! fav
