December 1st our family will begin remembering and giving thanks for the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
While November is nice because we celebrate personal freedom, December is even better because we celebrate eternal freedom!

I love bokeh, as a lot of you already know.
I softened this Christmas tree shot a bit with a gaussian blur.
And thought the circles fit rather well with the 'shape' theme for this week's lens art challenge!
My husband's family decorates trees with Hallmark ornaments; something I was not used to when we married. But I must admit, I've crossed over to the Hallmark side.
This is my favorite ornament, the second in the Noelville series.
Great photos.
