Old World Christmas. Sign up NOW.

(Art deco print. Artist unknown.)

Can you guess what the theme is? For me, Dr. Zhivago comes to mind, which is kind of appropriate, time-period wise. What we're talking about here is showing your take on an OLD WORLD CHRISTMAS. You can depict anything you want for the holiday but it needs to remind one of a different time for yesteryear. It could be old style decorations, Victorian buildings in snow, vintage clothing styles, you name it.

We'll see you back here in two weeks! With the holidays soon upon us, I'll actually add the sign up here next Tuesday, should any of you want to get this up sooner. :)

So, how is everyone while I've been offline? Sorry about that. Yes, it seems that time slipped by so quickly since returning from the funeral and seeing my family whilst across the pond. Having a cold for the entire trip which is only now leaving, I've also been super busy with work too (still am, actually).

Anyway, I think it will be fun and imaginative, don't you? Can't wait to see what each of you come up with and who signs up too. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US celebrating. Maybe some of you will even post pics of your delicious offerings? Ours will be fairly simple (and small) I think. The best part? It promises to snow that day. Whee! :D
