Caravan Christmas

This year I ended up making way more cards using paper napkins than I first expected and to my surprise received one yesterday from a friend who had taken a similar path. Great minds and all that…

I would happily give credit to the artist responsible for today’s cute scene but the packaging from the German company IHR product does not included the designer’s name. Despite what you might think I didn’t buy these napkins when I was in Australia earlier this year, I bought them in a little town in Quebec. I was so surprised to see them in Wakefield, in summer, very far from places that might celebrate Christmas on the beach in a caravan with a surfboard handy!

I sent one of these cards to my dad, of course because his experience with caravans goes way back to the one his father built. My brother and sister-in-law also received one because they are keen caravan travelers. The other two I gave to Canadians because they have heard me talk about the contrast of Australian and Canadian Christmas traditions.

The meaning of Christmas however does not change according to the seasons. I am grateful to have always celebrated the birth of my savior at Christmas. What a gift God has given us.

    This is a fun filled scene more redolent of the southern hemisphere Christmas celebrations and not something you expect to see on a napkin especially in Canada, but it looks great used here Heather. I have some napkins but not with anything Christmas themed, bar one which I had when we went out for lunch just before Christmas which I have saved and will be using soon. x

    What beautiful memories you have generated. 87 years ago a 3year old boy standing with his mother by the door of the caravan his father built; and memories of the many that followed over another eight decades. Home now after a great week at Bonny Hills.
