But there is not going to be a single winner, as this penalty time brings victory for all. Yup it is my final #timesquare gallery and also a great excuse for me to share a few Christmas lights from my forthcoming epiphany post on my other blog.

It wasn’t long ago I shared a gallery and so nearly all of these delights are from the final three days of December.
- Time is near so I thought I’d welcome you all back with a song or two before I wish you all again a Happy New Year
- Fortunately there were no fires this month, and we all managed to stay out of the cold.
- Do hope you have had time to read the letters and stories, and also to sit and reflect
- But I know it won’t have been easy to have stayed in touch amongst all the wonderful timelines and stunning sunsets,
I hope you are enjoying this opportunity to catch up with #timesquares after the Christmas rush and New Year celebrations.
- There’s been plenty of sunshine here in the blogging world even on chilly days and when we felt we had no time
- We’ve been spoilt with second looks, great fun and something new
- No wonder the birds are happy and we’ve counted our blessings and noticed signs of new growth
- And did you spot the time ball amongst the beautiful camellias and wonderful assortment of clocks?
This month’s Squares was as expected (given all the festivities) a little bit quieter than September’s, and some of our favourite friends we missed in the past few days.
- Some new friends though made it in the nick of time as we said goodbye to December
- By the way #timequare may be up, but there is always a beyond the end of time!
- Especially as a new year starts and we look forward to a creative January and a Square March inspired by Carol. I wonder she can remember!
- And talking of inspiration thanks again to Brian for the #timesquare inspiration, and to Anabel for inspiring today’s title!

Happy New Year, Becky. I would be looking forward to your March challenge but I will be in Africa for much of the month. I will try to jump in when I get back. Your challenges are so much fun. Marie

Hi Marie, thank you so much. I’ll be sharing the theme sometime in February so hopefully that might give you time to plan one or two before you leave x

OK, so it is neither lights or light, not night shots, lamps or lanes. Not leaving a lot to guess at. My guess is patterns. Or shops. Hopefully not shops…
Another lovely round-up Becky. It has been a lot of fun. Now to get the brain working on what to do on my blogs this year!

Night shots? Hope not. Too cold. March is not a night shooting month! Not an anything month. Late winter with only a vague hope of spring.

Now I like this idea too, but you are right far too cold for a March theme. Hopefully you’ll like what it is, and that it will be just perfect for March.

‘Penalty Time’ – I love it 😂 😂 😂 As for March, I see a plethora of possibilities – lights, lamps, laneways, arches – the list goes on, like my curiosity. Once again, Becky, thank you for being an amazing host and hosting an amazing challenge.

Don’t feel guilty about being away from the computer. That’s what you should be doing; there’s plenty of time to catch up when the cold north easterly winds and rain turn up!!!

What a delightful way to finale, Becky. Are you hinting light for March? Thank you for everything. I suppose this site will be less active without the square challenges. BTW, thank you for commenting in all of my posts. It makes a big difference than just hitting the like button that I don’t have 🤗🙄🙃
