Merry Christmas everyone.
This post is just to show you how the “magic” of tree decoration happens at our house. In past years, we’ve had huge, live trees which John would go out to cut for us. About eight years ago, one of our neighbors presented me with this tree so we’d have something to set up for Mom to see. It was wheeled to wherever she was sitting for her to enjoy. Now it seems this little tree has become part of the family and we get it out each year. No more hauling those large , heavy trees for us. It was suggested that we buy one of those pine-scented air fresheners, for hanging in cars, to put the Christmas tree aroma into the house. Think we’ll pass on that.
Over the years we’ve collected many tree ornaments. The mama bear holding her cub, the Christmas spider from an old Chech story about a very poor family who had a tree but no trimmings. The spider spun her web to cover the tree with glistening threads. There are birds with feathery tails and the latest addition “a major award” in the form of a lamp shade with a leg from “A Christmas Story”, are some of my favorites. There are also some Depression era ornaments, formed like grape clusters, from Mom’s home. It’s always a treat to get those out.
I hope each of you has a wonderful Christmas with family and friends and will enjoy a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. Thanks for stopping by to visit my “blog.
