Let us start off in the right direction and enjoy some reddish bougainvillea along our way:
We stop in to see some beautiful flowers in remembrance of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice:
Just around the corner from my home are these Erythrina lysistemon:
Some food is required, so visit a fish market along the coast:
As tea is welcome at any time of the day, I regard this as one of the most perfect Advent calendars I have ever seen:
Finally, a stained glass window to remind us of one of the many layers of this festive season:
Wishing all of my readers happiness, cheerful company, good food and a pleasant festive season.
Something Over Tea 
Wishing you all the best for the festive season. Many thanks for all your posts and bringing a little bit of another part of the world into our homes. 🎅

Beautiful examples of red. I especially like the tea advent calendar. I thought of getting one this year but didn’t.

I was gifted an Advent calendar this year (chocolate) for the first time, and quite enjoyed it, but saw a tea one in the store the other day……what a nice idea for a tea lover.

Having said that I would enjoy having a tea advent calendar – what fun that must be – I received two boxes of unusual tea in the mail yesterday as a gift from my children in Norway! Mind you, I feel sure a chocolate a day is a tasty treat too 🙂

They were actually cream filled truffles and very good – but built in portion control.
