Star Light, Star Bright

I still love Christmas lanterns (parols).
It brings fond memories of Christmas and the home country.

Slash-M was in the Philippines for Christmas 
and brought one back with him to Sweden.
(Smart guy!) 


During our New Year's Eve party, 
I noticed the parol outside the house where the family was gathering.
I wanted a picture by the parol and 
our host graciously took our picture before we left in the morning.

First family picture for 2017 taken 01 Jan 2017

When asked about the parol, he said it was his brother-in-law's
and one that he'd revived by replacing the original lights with regular Christmas lights.

True enough, I found a picture of the parol from our party at 
his brother-in-law's place taken during our Christmas party there in 2014.

This parol has received a breath of new life.
It is the epitome of Christmas spirit.

May we all have renewed spirit within us.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
