It’s finally the Christmas season, so I thought I’d better get some pictures up on Flickr of this year’s celebrations. So far I’ve had a carol service, house party, two Christmas parties and a Christmas dinner, with another dinner tomorrow to follow last night’s. And all of that even before we’re halfway through December.

Christmas is a great time to take photos of food – there’s so much of it, lovingly prepared, that it looks as well as tastes gorgeous. Friends coming round, the house done up nice – all of it lends to great photos of happy times (unless, of course, you have a rubbish Christmas, in which case there’s probably not time between the arguments even to think about picking the camera up).

Hit the photo on left to reach my Christmas 08 set on Flickr; I hope you enjoy! (Also make sure to check out the A Very Christmas Flickr pool, which contains some great images.
