They can play all the tinny Carols they want and hang decorations from every structure around but it’s not Christmas for me without children’s happiness.

Chaos
The topic for the Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge this week is, “Chaos“.
I think most people who have young children visiting regularly could easily take a suitable image, mine is of the Dolls’ House.
Yearning
Almost my last post for the Emotography Showcase.
eXhilarated
Another photo for the Emotography Showcase.
I know there could be a range of emotions associated with this experience or even the thought of it but for my husband the feeling was pure exhilaration.
Wary
Almost to the end of my alphabetical journey of emotions. You can check out others here, Emotography Showcase.
Nostalgia
I used to love watching Dad shave. He’d dip the stick of green shaving soap into the water then rub it over his face and neck, after that he’d take the shaving brush, dip it in the water, give it a little flick then set to work lathering up the soap. He worked in circular motions over his cheeks, his upper lip, chin, and down around his neck. Of course, sometimes I’d get a dob of shaving cream on the tip of my nose.
He used a safety razor with metal handle which screwed off from the head. The razor blade was positioned on top of a little plate then a cover sat over it before the handle was screwed back on securing everything in place. I watched as he shaved paths through the foam then rinsed the razor in the sink before flicking the water off and continuing the shave.
What vivid memories his old shaving gear brings back, maybe there’s just a whisker of him still here.
