3rd December


This is my Christmas favourite! It's a tiny little candlestick that's been with me for as long as I can remember. I even used to play with it when I was growing up in the 1960s. (Not a good idea, I think).

The candlestick is old and worn. A friend of mine broke it accidently one Christmas in the 1980s. But since I can't picture a Christmas without it I glued it together and repainted it. But now the paint is chipped again... Still, it's one of my favorite Christmas decorations.  Of course, I took it with me when I moved to Italy 3 years ago and I guess this will remain with me for the rest of my life...
