Merry Christmas – Ottawa photographer

January 13, 2024

I know what you are thinking – Christmas? Isn’t that over? Well, it is true. But I have never been one to be on time. So here we go. This year was derailed quite early on. My dad unexpectedly passed away in the Spring. We are still in shock. Our plans for the year, the holidays, Christmas seemed to be ever changing and adjusting. It was difficult to feel “Christmassy”. Which I think contributed to just sitting back and letting somethings just be late this year. Between the two kids I managed to have a Christmas newsletter written and all my baking done. That was a big help for me. And well the kitties – as long as they have a place to sleep, they’re alright.

So I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. And may it continue through the whole year! This is just a little snippet of the holiday joy of 2023.

Miss Ellie quite enjoys the Christmas lights. She can usually be found under the tree napping – or this comfy spot on the couch, enjoying the glow.
Ophelia thought Grandma made this pillow just for her. But who are we to tell her otherwise?
Does anyone remember these Christmas albums? I am quickly discovering that all my favourite Christmas songs are being removed from Spotify. It might be time to go back to our CD and cassette collections. These 3 albums had my most loved Christmas tunes.
We have been lucky to take in a holiday themed play for the last 3 years. Even better when one of your extended family members is in the cast! What an amazing show. And so lucky a good chunk of our family were able to attend. We took up nearly a whole row in the theatre!
It wouldn’t be the Christmas season without our semi-annual trip to the dentist! I always love the HUMONGOUS poinsettia. And the sleigh of toothpaste was a nice touch.
We watched this holiday movie this year. It was actually pretty ridiculous. But super fun. Not for young children.
E’s “awesome” cookies he made. Our holiday chalkboard with a “rockin’ around the Christmas tree” drawing. It so silly, but this is one of my new favourite decorations. It’s a gift tag from last year that I framed. So simple – but it looked so cute! And a Christmas Eve game of Canadian headbands. Tuques and reindeer antlers – I guess that is what Canadian’s are made of?
And Christmas would not be complete without those twinkly lights.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy 2024!
