Not only today is a Christmas day

Every day is a Christmas day. It means that we must be kind, generous and friendly with all those around us not only on December 25th, but in every day of our lives.

Lots of love, peace and joy are my best wishes for everyone - for this Christmas and every new day after that.

At Christmas...

... the best gifts you can give to someone...

... are hope...

... joy...

... friendship...

... and love!!!

Merry Christmas ~ Feliz Natal ~ Feliz Navidad ~ Buon Natale ~ Joyeux Noël ~ Frohe Weihnachten ~ God Jul ~ Hyvää Joulua ~ Glædelig jul ~ Wesołych Świąt ~ Весела Коледа ~ Срећан Божић ~ Καλά Χριστούγεννα

These are just some ways to wish the same thing...

Moving day

The photographers were always on ABBA members heels. It wasn't different when Benny and Frida left their apartment at Old Town, to live in Lidingö, another Stockholm's neighborhood, in November 1976. The photographers followed them in their moving day, as the photo below is showing.

In spite of everything, Benny and Frida didn't got angry or annoyed by the intrusion. Actually they seemed to be very relaxed and happy for the photos. ABBA members and their really willing spirit...

Vallentuna one more time...

Besides Benny and Frida's pictures as a couple in their beloved Vallentuna, I also love the pictures taken with them individually, as the ones you can see below.

Shy Frida

This lovely smile you can also see in this post

Aw...

Handsome, charming Benny!

Hehe... ♥

This is a pretty rare one

Today is his day

Today our beloved ABBA composer and keyboardist is turning 64 years old! In this very special December 16th I wish him all love, happiness, peace and health that this very kind and generous man so much deserves.

Fashionable girls

As everybody knows, Frida has always loved fashion very much. On the other hand, Agnetha has never been a fashion lover, although she has always had a nice taste for clothes. Indeed, when those two were together at ABBA time, they just shone with their great beauty and elegant clothing choices. They were - and certainly still are - gorgeous in their own styles.

Very elegant for the winter!

I just love this one! Their clothes and their make up are just w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l!

Popular ABBA

The photos of this post were taken in 1977 and composed a lot of articles and cover magazines around the world during ABBA time.

Enjoy some samples of these pictures, whose photo shoot is known as The red session or The pink session.

Benny seems very happy here...

... but now he seems a bit bored

The sweetest

Of course all Benny and Frida's pictures are nice, but I've always thought the one below is one of the most beautiful of them. Don't you think so?

Fans

Famous people are not usually very tolerant with their fans. The situation was completely different between ABBA members and their fans, though. Love, sweetness and attention were priority for Anni-Frid, Benny, Björn and Agnetha when they met those who loved them and their music.

That's one of the many things that explain my admiration for the group. We can see it in the following images, which are just a small sample of what I'm saying here.

Well, the quality of this picture is not that good, but we can see lucky fans with ABBA at the time of ABBA 1977 Tour
