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.
