my christmas tree

here it is! a metal baobab sculpture by South African artist Dave Roussoux

it makes the perfect christmas tree

with eight white candles

doesnt drop needles

or require you to cut, transplant or otherwise traumatise a

naturally growing tree

we do displace a few spiders though when we drag it out each year

we will light all the candles on friday

and think about absent friends and family

the candles will probably last about two minutes

in this heat

stop global warming now OK!

To all my bloggy friends and visitors who may be packing cars, or doing last minute shopping

stocking up on bog rolls, light bulbs and last minute gifts

wading thru snow

or still at work while sunshine beckons through the window

thank you for your friendship and all the fun

wishing you and yours the happiest of festive seasons

in every way
