Such a contrast to my ‘Nativity’ image but every much as Christmas in the culture I live in.

I am not going to debate the moral dilemma of Christmas feasts and festive excess, just photograph it. Curiously this image is personally significant for an altogether different reason. It marks the anniversary of when I proposed and the cupcake adorned jug is an engagement present. It’s funny to find symbolic reminders hidden in images this way only to come to awareness afterwards. Actually it seems to happen often.

This image was a simple capture with no planning or intention other than to mark the day.
