Advent calendar 21


As I rush around to get ready for Christmas, I feel myself losing sight of what Christmas is all about. It may mean different things for different people, of course, but last night, I felt that PEACE is indeed a message I would like to add to my calendar here. 

So, slumped in the sofa after a long day yesterday, my therapeutic activity for the evening was shaping a piece of metal wire into a peace sign and then cover it in twine. A nice decoration perhaps for a bottle to give away, for the Christmas tree as alternative baubles, or even as a necklace for yourself...!  Smileys

This morning I "dressed" a candle with the same message, by warming a teaspoon over the cooker and then pressing the warm spoon gently onto a cut out paper peace sign held in place by my other hand on the candle. As the was melts a little under the warm spoon, the peace sign is "glued" onto the candle. 

So, dear readers, with only a few days to go to Christmas, 
may peace be with you on your path, wherever you are!

  2. I hate that the CND symbol has been hijacked for the peace symbol. When my husband is away this Christmas serving on a nuclear submarine I really find it quite offensive. Sorry!

    1. I am sorry, I never meant to offend anyone with this blog post. Not being British myself, my association was indeed not the CND, only "peace".

      Kind regards,
      Helena
