I told you.
\nI’m not much of a Christmas-decorator.
\nNot at all.
\nJust a bit.
\nA very –\u00a0tiny –\u00a0little bit.
\nBut THIS I couldn’t resist…<\/p>\n

My mum is a poet and a writer<\/a> (books for children) and when\u00a0my\u00a0parents visited us last week,\u00a0I got\u00a0THIS from her…
\n\"\"
\nSomething completely different: her work\u00a0
\npubliced\u00a0on Christmas ornaments this time!
\nThese Christmas balls
\nwith little poems are
\nfor sale at Plint<\/a>.
\nPlint\u00a0is a dutch\u00a0organisation who makes and sells
\nall kinds of stuff with poems on (poems mostly in dutch)
\nI got three of these\u00a0christmas balls (with\u00a0my mums\u00a0haiku on it) which I put in front of my window…<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI wanted to show it\u00a0earlier but I waited a\u00a0couple of days because I SO wanted it to snow (the photo would be much nicer when everything outside\u00a0was white, and I\u00a0pictured a nice blue sky behind it…)
\nBut not a slowflake\u00a0in sight\u00a0since weeks and the weather forecast predicts only grey and rainy weather for Christmas so I\u00a0had to take\u00a0the picture with a grey sky.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt sure looks like
\nsummer on this picture!
\nSee the green behind this? The one time I DO\u00a0decorate my house with something “Christmasy”, I\u00a0think that\u00a0should be rewarded with\u00a0Christmas weather too! Is it too much to ask? Just a little bit of snow behind my Christmas balls, just one inch… PLEASE!<\/p>\n
