Christmas Eve - Lighting Our Christmas Lanterns

Picture 187
We always put lanterns in our trees in the back garden at Christmas to remember all our special people who can’t be with us like Granny Shelia.

But this year we have decided to put the lanterns in what mum calls the “singing ringing” tree in the front garden, it’s never been big enough before, but this year it’s perfect …

This afternoon I hung all the lanterns , making sure that they all had a candle in ….. and then when it went dark, we all went out and took it in turns to light a lantern until they were all lit.

The singing ringing tree brings back memories. I found it very scary as a child. A strange east European programme.
