This is the tree in the den. It may be smaller than the tree in the living
room, but its every bit has important to me. The majority of the ornaments
haven't made the 'cut' to go on the big tree for several years. But how can you
throw away a Christmas ornament. Each holds a special memory. This little tree
has in years past been decorated with just Coca Cola Ornaments, Santa ornaments
and one year all the ornaments were ones I had received as gifts. This year its
kind of a catch all theme. Marvin the Martin, Garfield, a couple of Santas, a
couple of Coca Cola ornaments and three of my most cherished ornaments. (Up
close of middle of tree)
In the front there is a snowman with Daniel, my nephew who is now 26, and a
rocking horse with Andrew, my other nephew who is now 22. Twelve or thirteen
years ago they thought aunt Barb would like an ornament with their names on
them. On the left you can just see a pine cone decked out in globs of glue and
red glitter. Andrew made that at church when he was seven or eight.
I realized this year's incarnation is what makes me laugh, lets me dream and
those I love that are my world.
Merry Christmas!
