Yesterday I managed to go to our living room and I photographed our Christmas tree, which is a tradition of mine. Why is that significant to me? Well, as I’m 99% bedbound by #MECFS, the last time I visited that room was in April. So that happens only a handful of times in a year. 1/3 #photography

A colour image. In the middle of the photo there is a Christmas tree, it has lots of ornaments on it: candles, red balls, white snowflakes. In the lower right corner there is a part of sofa, and there is a pillow on it. Behind the tree there are a couple of old photographs on the wall. In the left side of the image, there is a large wooden clock on the wall, in the background. Also a table and a couple of chairs can be seen in the background.

Mum just dropped by with my presents, so I have something to open in the morning. Sending lots of love to everyone who can’t have the Christmas you’d like to have, owing to illness. It’s a hard time of year to face it all. Wishing you much coziness 🎄❄️🌟 #pwME #MECFS #Chronicillness

The photo shows a few Christmas presents stacked on a brown wooden floor. One present is large and flat and wrapped in silver paper. Two other rectangular presents are on top of this one and wrapped in colourful paper with a Christmas tree pattern and have Santa Claus faces for gift tags.
