12 Days of Christmas ... creation care style!

my precious kids, in their
filipino best ... ready to
bring on the
Christmas Cheer!

so .... it's time for christmas cheer and good wishes and lots of laughter from every corner.  if you are in the cooler climates, snow, hot chocolate, warm woollies and turkey no doubt are a big part of your plans.  if you happen to live in a more tropical places (like us!), your christmas day will probably be spent beach side, heaps of yummy cold platter treats,  or at the very least with a bbq on the game game plan with a seafood platter laid out!

given the massive transformation that our family has undergone to move towards a sustainable lifestyle this year, i thot it only appropriate to playfully put a creation care slant on an old christmas carol favourite ....
