For many the 25th of December is known as Christmas Day but this is not celebrated in all countries or by all religions. So we thought it would be interesting, as well as educational, for us to see what happens on this date around the world.
The challenge was to take an image which shows a typical day for you on December 25th. Are you partying on the beach, are you at a religious gathering or eating a celebratory meal with family. Maybe it is a perfectly normal day and you are scrubbing the kitchen floor or going to work.
So let us see what our international members were doing on 25 December 2024…….

25 December is a normal day in China, very few people walking in the shopping street in the evening as cold weather.

The door bell caught my eye which was covered with cobwebs. Seems it had been out of action for ages!

When looking at it I thought of a mask.

My balcony at Christmas.
Here is how I have decorated my balcony this Christmas, to give that festive feeling to those walking by and of course to me.
Our Christmas celebrations had been the night before. In spite of the dreary weather, I decided to take a walk in the dunes (Kennemerduinen) with my camera.
