Christmas Memories

One of my favorite times of year is Christmas. Each year we decorate the house in anticipation of hosting our traditional, family Christmas Eve gathering. The preparation is half the fun. Starting weeks before, the house comes to life with the newly decorated tree and Christmas decorations placed through out the house. Many of these decorations are individual, Anna Lee, hand painted faces, upon angels, santa’s, reindeer, and Christmas carolers given to me by my late mother in law, Betty. I also place angels on the den sideboard and I have a musical angel I dearly love. I keep the angel in the bedroom for myself. On Christmas Eve morning I lovingly arrange fresh greenery atop the dining room table and mantle with sparkling white lights.
