Hi Everybody!
Today we are starting a new challenge at TioT and our theme is
🎅🎄'traditional Christmas'🎅🎄.
As always, you have 2 weeks to join us, and projects of all formats are welcome, as long as they fit the theme. And don't forget to look at the lovely pieces my teamies made!
I made a tag:
Sunrise on Monday:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Love the pink bows. Have fun with the Christmas posts. We do Christmas right after Halloween. Bam! So fun. That's our tradition and I LOOOOVE it!
ReplyDeleteAs Ivy says that last photo is a cutie! Lovely tag too.
DeleteHello Valerie: I have several Jewish friends, a couple of Hindus and a Muslim acquaintance, so the theme of "A traditional Christmas" might be a bit of a challenge for them. What constitutes a traditional Christmas will vary of course. For the local Mennonite community it will be a time for reflection, not an orgy of gift giving. There will be no lights on their homes, no baubles and gewgaws. If there is decor in the house it will be natural, pine boughs, cones and the like. In Israel and Palestine a traditional Christmas will mean soldiers guarding the holy sites with guns so that different religious fanatics don't kill each other. For TV evangelists it will mark a golden opportunity to extort more money from gullible people who can least afford to give, and who are duped mercilessly. For Miriam and me, it will be the same as any other day - and that's the way we like it. That's a traditional Christmas for us. Hugs and kisses - David
DeleteHi David, I don't celebrate anything, so themes like this are not easy. I always make a donation to the homeless, and that's better for me than buying presents for people who already have everything. I will be with a friend, we will make a meal and enjoy it together . Have a great day 😊, hugs 🤗, Valerie
DeleteThanks Ivy, enjoy celebrating!
DeleteThanks Christine, have a great day ❤️
DeleteWhat a beautiful Christmas tag! The snowy background is gorgeous with that little robin sitting in the tree. Loving that little calf with pink bows too - super cute 😊. Take care and sending you happy wishes! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo, the snowy background and tree are photos I took when we had snow. Happy T Day
DeleteThat is a great page, and I am glad you reminded everyone that Christmas isn't the only holiday. That Menorah is a great addition. I think the dog with his glasses is my favorite-ha ha. He made me smile. Hope all is well with you. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, I couldn't resist that little addition! Have a great day!
DeleteAdorable Christmas art Vj. Lovely clicks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashok, have a great day 😊
DeleteHi Val, hope you are having a good day. Little S. Is off sick, she has such a nasty cold. At least it isn't Corona. Have a great day! Hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, so sorry to hear it, give her a hug from me! Hope she feels better soon. Hugs!

DeleteIt's hard to determine what a traditional Christmas is, but I like how you included the menorah. I think you showed Christmas can be anything you want it to be.
ReplyDeletegreat take on this theme.
Exactly! Hence the menorah!
DeleteA lovely tag Valerie, loving the images and it's nice that you've made it for everybody and everything.
ReplyDeleteAvril xx
Thanks Avril!
Deletea beautiful tag! xo
ReplyDeleteThe little calf with her pink bows is adorable, Valerie! The tag is gorgeous. Some lucky person would love to receive that on a Christmas present. Those bees are wonderful. I immediately thought of my friend, Debra, She Who Seeks. She loves bees more than anyone I know.
