2021 Happy New Year I Hope You Dance By Lee Ann Womack

With 2025 now drawing to a close I am taking this time to wish you a Happy New Year for 2026.

Usually I am to do a you tube video to welcoming in the new year and to show case the year I have had.

Sadly I have not been able to do this for 2025, due to my illness, disabilities and once again facing homelessness.

These are things that I would like to talk about more in 2026, also to showcase thought out 2026 to promote information and awareness about these.

I know that the say “A picture paints a thousand words.” So I will aim to do this though my art.

Anyone who would like to know more about this or to take part can do so by getting in touch with me or following me on social media.

So Happy New Year for 2026.

I will leave you with a link to an old New Year video that I did with my children.

Saturnalia Explained

Happy Satunalia December 17 to December 23

Saturnalia is an ancient Roman festival and holiday in honour of the god Saturn, held on 17 December in the Julian calendar and later expanded with festivities until 19 December.

By the 1st century BC, the celebration had been extended until 23 December, for a total of seven days of festivities. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn, in the Roman Forum, and a public banquet, followed by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere that overturned Roman social norms: gambling was permitted, and masters provided table service for their slaves as it was seen as a time of liberty for both slaves and freedmen alike.

A common custom was the election of a "King of the Saturnalia", who gave orders to people, which were followed and presided over the merrymaking. The gifts exchanged were usually gag gifts or small figurines made of wax or pottery known as sigillaria. The poet Catullus called it "the best of days".

 2025 for me so far is the year from hell!

It started off with me doing my anual charity event that I will talk about in more detail over the next few weeks.

January until March my children had chickhen Pox so I needed up being at ohome and nursing them back to health.

April until Spetmber I myself was in and out of hoispital agin will talk more about this over the next few weeks.

Now in October-November I was served with a section 21 by my land lord.

For the past 10 years I have looked at becoming self emplpoyed again, but not having a fixed abode or a bussiness adress I have found this to be a challange so have manily done every thing that I love and enjoy with my children on a hobby basies and try out new things and see what may peek peoples intrest.

The main things being and thing that includes nature, wildlife and education.

So I will be focusiong on these in 2026 and looking for somehwere new to live with my children and hopefully work from.
