Because I am behind schedule posting my Deck images this year, it is co-incidental that the image for the 48th Week is actually appropriate for today, the day I am posting it…
Everyone has beliefs, even if you say you don’t believe in anything, that in itself is a belief. I believe in Santa Claus! Maybe not the person, but the idea, the idea of giving, of making children happy, even of the stories and the legends that surround this figure.
I like to be a child again every Christmas and believe in the magic of giving, in the magic of the gift that was the Christ-child.
To all my friends and family, to anyone who happens across this page, whether you believe in Jesus, in Allah, in the pantheon of Hindu gods, in the Buddha, in a Supreme Being or in no particular power, I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Season’s Greetings!

Look at that Mike, four weeks more and you can allow the year to end 🙂 I think you might actually make it. Pretty good. And Merry Christmas to you and your family too.
It always has to end sometime 🙂
Everyone has one week more intheir year and I have four 🙂
They both look so happy. Very beautiful and meaningful. All to best to you and yours. Hope next year you do not get so bogged down with work and all the things that kept you away from your weekly post. I am sure your readers would agree that we all look forward to your Blog. Have a blessed Christmas and a prosperous new year.
Thanks A. Rose, I will try for better time management next year 🙂
