Today is Thursday and I can't believe this time next week it will be Christmas Eve. In reality it will be pretty much the same as it always is for me. One thing I've noticed this year is that folk seem to have put Christmas lights and decorations up much earlier than normal. I saw lights up in early November where I live. There also seems to be more effort made with the outdoor displays. Some I've seen would rival Blackpool Illuminations. It has actually been really nice to see and has lifted my spirits if nobody else's. Twinkling lights always make me smile and make me happy.
I am hoping for a clear night on the 21st December so I can see the rare conjunction of the planets that is due to take place. It is supposed to signify the raising of our vibrations on planet earth. I do hope so. It really does need raising. There is definitely a war going on at a spiritual level.

I volunteer at Whittington Castle and I am also a Trustee of this wonderful ancient monument. I have been volunteering here for the last five and a half years. This year has been a difficult year for us due to restrictions and having to close etc., but hopefully next year will be better.
