Christmas Day

Christmas day in the Paxton house hold and yes the animals got presents too.

Joy, Ian sister sent them both a present and here they are enjoying them.

Laxey, the cat, got a catnip bag in the shape of a mouse and tried to get into the wrapping before we could stop him. A picture here shows him playing with it.



Cubie got a rawhide Christmas card. As he was a year when we got him and he has always lived outside he was not used to getting presents. At first he just looked at it and did not think he was allowed to have it. A little while later and he realised just what it was for. Here is a picture of him making sure we knew it was his!

I took some video of Laxey chasing and playing with his catnip toy and I will upload some here when I get it out of the camera.

I hope you enjoy the photos.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I want to say Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year to my readers.

But I also want to ask you to remember what we are celebrating at this time of the year. Nowadays all we get from the media and the shops is how much money we should spend and how doing so makes us look good.

Christmas is a time of Joy as we celebrate the coming of Jesus, but most people celebrate the coming of presents. I am not against giving of presents, this was to symbolise God giving His son as a present to us, but now I think it has got out of hand.

Recently someone said to me we should celebrate Easter more than Christmas. Of course, without Christmas there would be no Easter to celebrate. What he was saying was that Easter was when Jesus died for our sins and that we should think on that more.

I know many people will disagree with me and say that I am a party pooper but I say that parties are great. Jesus did not come to condemn the world but came that we might have life, and have it to the full. Let us enjoy every day and be happy every day thanking God.

If you don't know God, you have never prayed and just want to know if God does exist then ask him to reveal himself to you personally. 'Praying', is just talking, so talk to God as if He was sitting next to you. You don't need to use fancy words, just say what you think, ask Him to reveal Himself. If you are sincere and mean what you say then He will show himself.

How I hear some say, how do I see God. Look around you, this web site (these are my photos) is a fantastic to see what God can do, and does for us, just for our pleasure. Why else do we need such beautiful sunsets and sunrises, such colourful birds and flowers, don't you think God made them look so good so we can enjoy them?

Any way I don't want to start to bore you by starting to preach. If you want to know God, ask Him to come into your life, He will if you mean it.

If you want to discuss this with me further then send me an email.

Have a wonderful Christmas and a very special New Year and keep showing us all your wonderful weather photos.

Paxo.
