Photo Challenge: January 1-16

I'm doing a photo challenge this year and will post my pictures here. How it works is each day there is a word or prompt, and I will take a picture that goes along with it. Some are easy, but some some are kind of hard. I guess that is what makes it a challenge. I am using the prompts from Capture Your 365.

So, here we go!

Boxing Day

Well, we made it through another Christmas. We hugged our relatives, opened gifts, sang carols, ate cookies...you know, the whole lot, and it was lovely. Now it is time for the inevitable let down that threatens to steal my joy each year the day after Christmas. This year I will try not to let it get the best of me.

I came across a song this year which expresses my feelings on the day perfectly. Here is Boxing Day by Relient K.

Merry day after Christmas. Here's to the coming spring!

This week I was introduced to the Christmas wonder of John Lewis advertisements. I'm not exactly sure what or where John Lewis is, but if we had it in the United States, I would do all my shopping there simply because these ads are so wonderful.

This one is my favorite and quite possibly the best thing you will see this holiday season.

This one is pretty neat, too. 

And here is one more.

Don't you just feel warm and fuzzy after seeing these? Love, love, love.
