    Ive gone for those pictures that are well photographed and reflect the Spirit of Christmas.

    1st Pause for Thought by Firemedic

    This is simply beautiful and the photo that I wish I had taken. Pure, simple, perfectly exposed and wonderful.

    2nd Twinkle by GW

    Technically perfect and the crystalised fruit adds the finishing touch

    3rd In the Beginning by Platty

    Excellent composition of a subject that links us to the origin of Christmas

    Special mention also to the trio of superb still lifes by LOL

    1. Lucy's Christmas by roders. I loved it from the moment I saw it.

    2. Watching for Santa by marge. It made me smile!

    3. 'Happy Christmas' by Banansman. It was if I was actually looking into the tree.

    Good luck to you all!

    This is far too difficult - but I've avoided looking at what anyone else has chosen, and gone for what I think fits the title best, and a great picture too -

    1 - Marge - Watching for Santa
    2 - Hornbeam - The Big Issue
    3 - DaveW - A Time for Children Everywhere

    But I loved loads of them, with a special mention to Lucy's Christmas - loved it! :D
