We bought our Christmas tree this morning, and about an hour ago we brought it into the family room. The fragrance is unbelievably wonderful - I can close my eyes and be transported all the way back to my growing up years. The memories of Christmases past are so dear...full of thoughts of what present I got this year or that year...the "piece" I spoke for a church Christmas program...the cold and snow...the never ending Christmas Eve sleep...the smell of a new doll...the big apple at the very bottom of my stocking...the nativity plays we cousins would put on while the aunts did the Christmas Eve dishes...singing Silent Night while holding a candle at church service...I could go on and on. Certainly am looking forward to observing another holy Christmas this year, and we are starting out the season with our friends the Worths who are coming over for supper tonight. We will probably decorate the tree tomorrow when Delaney and Ella are here, can't wait!
