Do not misread the title. I love "O Tannenbaum" It is the process of undoing the boxes, and checking the lights that can suck the "Ho, Ho, Ho out of you!!Each year I open the boxes and act, as if, I have never seen these things before. "Oh, look at this one!" I scream. My holiday ornaments have come home again. I hold them in my hands, like the wise men carrying the frankincense. Jewels, my family's memories, attached to each bauble.
Keith's macrame reindeer, Brian's inability to do crafts(no homemade ornaments), Ward's clay gingerbread man, Hart's felt bell, and Emma's paper star. That is just the first layer from four crates of "stuff" for the tree. The masterpiece of layered memories, adorns our computer room/living room. One of Lucy's many rooms to claim her own!! Lights blinking, and memories tugging on my heart. Christmas, I think, is for remembering, and always having an extra set of lights!!!!
