| Welcome to my world! |
 |
| Can you spot the festive visitors? |
 |
| Santa makes himself comfy on my desk... |
 |
| Green glass kitty hangs around all year - she matches the lamp! |
 |
| She insisted on being included, as this is Cat Whisperer's blog after all! |
 |
| And of course, the little tree, bedecked with ornaments new and old... |
 |
| Vintage publications grace the table on which the tree sits... Representing Britain, The Illustrated London News... |
 |
| Inuit: The Night the City Sang. Many many years ago, when I was just starting in this field, as a student assistant, my boss would gather us "kids" at Christmas to listen to a reading of this book, a charming tale. This book comes off the shelf every Christmas to sit under the tree, and I recall the wonderful time we all had, and remember fondly, this special lady who left us too soon. |
 |
| And of course, French Canada - this is Quebec after all! |
 |
| There is something so lovely about vintage decorations. |
 |
| Over at the main library, my colleagues got busy with a new twist on a Christmas tree, using books! |
 |
| How cool is that? "Behold! Our beautiful tree, created from Forbes, Fortune and The Economic Journal – with some Church History added to the mix! Topped by The Great Atlas of the Stars, opened up to the Omega Centauri – the largest globular cluster in the Milky Way!" |
 |
| The tree is complemented by a paper star, fashioned from discarded magazines, a trick learned from YouTube of course! |
