The Start of the Holiday

From today I need not worry about keeping up to date with my journal, as I am on holiday until the 6th of January.
The prompt for day 17  was to focus on the things I still have to do before the big day.  The idea of this is to help those who take part not to worry about the 'to do' list, and to decide what really can be done without to remove the pressure.  I'm not feeling too much pressure this year as it's my sister's turn for Christmas dinner!

I went off prompt for day 18, as I had a photo I had taken in town of the christmas lights I wanted to include.

Happy Winter Solstice, summer is on its way!
