What makes Christmas special?

The SCEGGS community has been busy being creative and taking photos of what makes Christmas special to us… and the results are in…

We could not narrow it down to just 10 so we have the best 20 images that you can purchase as either a digital copy only or as a digital and print card copy.

Well done on capturing the spirit of Christmas beautifully.

What a gorgeous collection of Christmas images we have.

All funds raised will go to “Let’s Build a School” (LBS) in Cambodia, an organisation commuted to providing social and economic justice through supporting and providing education in rural Cambodia. Like many organisations, COVID has had a significant impact on being able to provide the support to LBS and this is one small way we can give back to those in need.

Your support of this initiative is very much appreciated. All the images are yours to keep, print or share.

Please use this link.

There are 2 packages available:
$8 for all 20 digital images which will be emailed to you within 2-3 days of placing your order
$12 for all 20 digital images plus prints of each which will be emailed and posted to you within 2-3 days of placing your order

Please ensure you supply your email and or postal address when using the try booking link.

You can order photos up until 15 December 2021.

Sophia Papadakis when taking her photo wrote, “I believe putting up the Christmas tree and hanging all the meaningful decorations that we have collected over the years is quite special.

Some are fairly new, but some were bought when my sister and I were very young. They have been with us for a long time, and spark joy for us when times get tough. For our family, putting up the Christmas tree is like a gift, and we look forward to assembling it every year.

Once the tree is up, before school every morning until Christmas we admire the tree. It motivates us to work hard, and it gives us energy for the day! When we get the Christmas tree up it’s a sign that another year is coming to an end. We tend to reflect a lot during this time, and I think having it in our living room reminds us of how lucky we are to be able to celebrate Christmas, receive gifts and be loved. Every year some new ornaments are put up which makes it even more exciting to see it finished. Last weekend we decided to put it up. We all felt like we needed a little boost of joy and a reminder of the fact that this year is nearly over, so it makes us want to make good use of the time we have and live in the moment. Our family cherishes Christmas very much. That is why I believe that decorating our tree is what makes Christmas special for me.”

May we all be filled with this joy and delight and look forward to our own unique ways we celebrate this time of year.
