Merry Christmas Everyone ...

:)
how sweet

It is rather cute! :)

Very cute little Christmar bear and super bokeh from your lights.

Thanks for that Harriet! :)

A delightful entry to 'Sight and Sound' :-) Sharing some some Shakin' Stevens works for me :-) Super Christmas music. Thank you for posting, Paul. And, Congratulations on 2,000 uploads to ipernity!

Glad you like the image and the music Roger. Here's to the next 2,000 uploads! :)

Hey, congrats for 2.000 !
.... fine bokeh and a cool, cute teddybear !

Many thanks Heidiho. Glad you like the shot and here's to the next 2,00 uploads! :)

Dear Doc,

Little bear is so cute and sweet and bokeh-eeee! :

Two of the links didn't work for me, but I found these that did:

I'll Be Home This Christmas

The Best Christmas of All

I listened to all 4 songs and I liked them all. Never heard of Shakin' Stevens until you featured him, but I will always know him now.

I'm so glad you came over from "the dark side." Congratulations on your 2000th item and I wish you and your family a most wonderful Christmas! Your good friend and receptionist. Karen

(p.ssst. Don't forget my Christmas bonus! ;)

So glad you like the shot and the music Karen. Sorry about the links ... it must be a country thing as they all still work for me, but the second one you posted comes up as unavailable for me ... all very strange.

Anyway, glad you like Shaky. He was much aligned in many quarters for his style of music especially in the Eighties when the charts here were being taken over by New Wave, New Romantics and predominantly Electronic music.

However, I've been a huge fan since first seeing him appear on the 'Oh Boy' TV programme in the late Seventies. He also, despite his critics, went on to become the UK's biggest-selling singles artist of the 1980s with 33 Top 40 hit singles: including three chart topping hits - Green Door, This Ole House and of course Merry Christmas Everyone!

Anyway, enough about the UK's very own 'Elvis' ... here's wishing you and your family all the very best for Christmas and the coming New Year! :)

Now, about that bonus ... ;)

It really is a "country thing" Paul. It happens all the time in our "Sight and Sound" group. That's why I usually post at least two links for a song so hopefully at least one will work.

Good for Shaky sticking with his own style. That's a real artist for you! :)

Beautiful job. Merry Christmas

Thanks Jan ... Merry Christmas to you too! :)

Superb bokeh. It's nice to see you posting again.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

Glad to be back posting properly too Esther! Hope you have a lovely Christmas! :)

All the best to you and yours!

And to you Gary ... all the best for 2016 too! :)

Wonderful bokeh and photo Paul! Merry Christmas!

Glad you like it Norm. As I said to Lynne above I have the macro lens to thank for the bokeh! ;)

Hope you, the family and your girls have a great Christmas! :)

Cute little bear and a nice bokeh!

Merry Christmas to you and your beloved ones!

Glad you like it Dida. Hope you and your family have a nice Christmas too! :)

Das könntest Du als Weihnachtskarte verkaufen. Toll gemacht!

I did think it had the feel of a Christmas card Chrissy, but wasn't sure it would be good enough so I was delighted to read your kind comment! :)

I hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas! :)

Yeah, but what about my photo Wendi? ;)

waaah! your making me type!
the little bear is adorable.. (not as cute as you of course) and I love the bokeh.. and the fluffy thing the bear is sitting on.. I actually thought he was a stuffed animal - not ceramic.

hows that!?!?!?! passss the pain killers please and thanks!

That's better Wendi ... now take two of these every four hours. Oh, and no alcohol until you've finished the course! ;)

but..buutttt the alcohol works!

Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Hope you have a good one! :)
