Decorations on the Tree

Sunday, December 9, 2007

The tree trimming was a wonderful event. Although it happened a week ago, the tree still smells of pine.




The white lights make the tree shimmer in the night. It is a beautiful sight and the dogs enjoy sitting on their bed watching the tree and relaxing by the fireplace. It takes on a wonderful feeling of the Christmas season.




The stockings are hung by the fireplace. Along with the "Irish" Santas (Carrie's an annual gift from her mom) and the doggie snow globe, the stockings wait for the Santa (hopefully the DUTCH ONE) to slip down the chimney with goodness for two good girls.

Mom and Dad's little characters now make my home filled with the spirit of Christmas. They all gather around to be a part of the wonderful story. It truly makes my home a special place to have so many wonderful memories of my 'growing up' years.

May you have a special time while making your homes ready for the holidays. God bless to each of you and be safe. I pray that your homes are filled with the sights, smell, and LOVE of Christmas. Hugs to each of you.
