When I was a child, and even as a young adult, I promised myself I’d never reduce the centerpiece of our Christmas celebration, the ceiling scraping evergreen tree, to a miniature fake tabletop version like my great-aunts and grandparents did. Real life has a way of educating like none other. Now I understand that hauling a very large and heavy tree into one’s living room cannot be easily accomplished by someone in their later years. Thankfully we are not there……..yet. Still I am breaking my promise to myself and in the pictures below you can see the new 'Christmas tree’ I created this year for our ornaments.
