Christmas memories

I love Christmas. I love remembering past Christmases. It truly is my most favorite time of the year. Always has been and I think it always will be.

Take for example last year's Christmas.

There is something special about going to the Christmas tree farm in search of the perfect tree.



There is something special about watching my husband put the ornaments on the highest branches because I chose a tree much too tall for me to reach the top standing on my tiptoes.


There is something special about giving my husband the exact same ornament he gave me. Coincidence? I think not.


There is something special about the glow from all the twinkle lights.


I think perhaps these are the reasons why Christmas is so magical for me.

This year is a different kind of year - a Christmas tree-less year. I am okay with that; I think the thought of having to unstring 2200 lights from the tree is enough to keep me from feeling too disappointed. This year is a good kind of different. I will be decorating in other ways with different decorations, and I am so happy about that. I love you, wonderful Christmas season.
