It's ( STILL ) Christmas time in the city

The weather was unseasonably warm on the weekend - gorgeous really -
In under 2 weeks we went from a record breaking snow fall


to this





John and I decided to walk - a long walk - a 2 hour walk - with my camera in hand.....................
as the day progressed and twilight fell - the magic happened - Christmas hasn't left at all
I loved seeing that the city was lazily holding on to the prettiness ...................
It spoke to me -
And this is what it said

Welcome back - it's good to see you 




come stroll awhile


 we did this for you


enjoy the magic of the season


take a break - remember to breathe - to sit - to relax - to enjoy


you were too busy shopping and wrapping and cleaning and cooking and decorating - to take the time to notice 



we're not going anywhere just yet 



let us cast our magic upon you for awhile



take it all in



look in wonderment



let your heart sing



we decked the halls for you my friend



but you scurried here and there and never noticed



you forgot about us - the streets of your home - once you packed it all away



and it says


with every step I take


slow down   



you're going too fast

you've got to make the moments last




the way you once did - long long ago  - when every moment was a life time  





 
this year in particular, Christmas flew by far too quickly, did yours?



life shouldn't be a blur.....................
