This is the type of scene that I miss most, living now in Australia. I am heading for my seventeenth Christmas down under, and it just doesn’t feel like the same holiday that it was in the USA. The cold air, warmed by a crackling fire, hot chocolate and the memories as each precious ornament is unwrapped, dusted off and placed lovingly on the tree. Cramming the living room with so many beautiful, shiny things that it is an adventure to get from one side of the room to the other.
Christmas on the beach? No thank you.
At least in Second Life, with the help of some fabulous creators, I can recreate the nostalgic feelings of those Christmases gone by.
Peace and goodwill to all who enter here.

The Christmas’s of my childhood were of the ‘on the beach’ variety but I do prefer them in colder climates like we have here nowadays. It’s just – that much more cosy! Great styling here, Peep 🙂 I have a bare tree up, just waiting for me to go to Tannenbaum for the decorations.
Thanks, Moz 🙂 I saved up for Tannenbaum and came away with empty pockets and full stockings!
This is so beautiful… love it!
There’s room for you if you squeeze in next to the fireplace ❤
Yay!! I’m coming right over.. I see you saved me some coco.. :)) ♥
Cookies, too! 🙂
You’re the best! 😀
