This slideshow is a small collection of pictures from my Flickr stream on the theme of winter, Christmas, family or general celebration to mark the festive season in 2008.

Here’s hoping you all have a lovely – and relaxing – festive season. I will be counting hits to this page until 10 January 2009 and making a 10p donation to the Terrence Higgins Trust per hit, up to maximum of £50.
