Oh Christmas Tree, oh Christmas Tree

 This weeks SundayPostcardArt was chosen by Sandie and the theme is TRADITIONS

Christmas, for me, is probably the most traditional time. Our family traditions start on Christmas Eve with a takeaway pizza. And then on Boxing day we've always had a retro buffet.

My postcard features a tree. As a child with always had a real tree, it seemed so big and we always had candles on it which were lit on Christmas Day. I think this tradition comes from my mum as shes German.
