Christmas Tree Down
I hate to admit this but I finally got my Christmas tree down today. I very seriously thought of just covering it and leaving it up for next year since it was in the corner of my studio and not in the way of anything. But my better judgment won out. I now understand why my mother-in-law stopped putting up a big tree when the grandkids stopped believing in Santa. I still love Christmas but just don’t have the desire and energy to do all the decorating that I did when Don was alive and the boys were still at home. I have been thinking of ways that I could display the really special ornaments year round and just have a tree with lights when December rolls around. To me it seems somewhat of a shame to have beautiful things and only get to see them once a year.
