The theme for this month’s Arts Carnival activity is open – as Paul says, “any survivor art is welcome!”
I took a photo last night of a Christmas decoration. I think it’s beautiful. I had hoped to photograph it nestling in feathers, or something soft, but with everything else that’s happening this week I haven’t been able to make that happen.
I love this decoration. For me, it speaks to everything I want Christmas to be – beautiful, happy and, well, “normal”. Everything it isn’t at the moment. I’m trying to maintain hope that one day I can create the kind of Christmas I’ve always wanted. I’m still missing a few ingredients for that at the moment, but I try to hang onto the hope. My religious colleagues tell me that’s what this time of year is about – the hope of a better future. Captures my Christmas wish, that’s for sure. As well as the idea of “healing” for all of us survivors here, I think.
It’s a beautiful decoration Kerro, and a beautiful hope for the future. You’ve already made great steps towards getting the Christmas you’re dreaming of… you’re determined and strong enough to make the rest of it possible too
Take care,

You are right Kerro. This is beautiful! I sincerely hope someday you get to a place where Christmas is what you want it to be, what you deserve it to be…
This is beautiful! I like it just the way it is…nothing to distract from its beauty!
Thanks everyone. I hope you can all find some beauty in your Christmases this year. Take care.
