Christmas Tree

Every year we question whether
we want to put the Christmas tree up
It's a lot of work for a short time
but the joy we feel at the memories
that the ornaments bring back
is definitely worth the trouble!

Andrea Dietrich December 27, 2024 at 9:17 AM I didn't put mine up this year. Hubbie is disabled and it's just not so easy . No one comes to our house anyway. I think I am turning into Scrooge! Good one, Kathleen Kathleen Hassall December 27, 2024 at 2:43 PM Thank you, Andrea! We did debate on it, but it has been cheery. I totally understand your decision, though!

Reason A. Poteet December 23, 2024 at 8:27 AM I could not agree more whole-heartedly. Some ornaments take on a life of their own each December when they say hello to us again. Congratulations, Kathleen, Merry Christmas. Kathleen Hassall December 24, 2024 at 3:30 AM Thank you! Merry Christmas!

David Smith December 21, 2024 at 2:04 PM Simple but brilliant. Perfect use of words for the occasion. But the joy we feel at the memories says so much and applies to effort in other areas. Great work. From this 70 year old who loves Christmas. David in NZ Kathleen Hassall December 22, 2024 at 10:06 AM Thank you, David! Merry Christmas!
