Christmas Tree
Every Christmas tree is different. Some people decorate their tree with lots of color, while others decorate with a particular theme in mind. Some like the look of canned snow sprayed upon the tree, and others like the glitter of tinsel.
When I was a child, our Christmas tree always had bright colored lights. And we were big on tinsel. We had a vast array of ornaments that differed in color, shape, and design. Although we always had plenty of ornaments, each year Mom would buy a few more to make the tree special and to commemorate the year. With each new Christmas, I could sometimes look at an ornament and recall the time it first adorned our tree.
There were also some personal touches that gave the tree a “family tree” feel. Hanging alongside two swan-shaped ornaments that had hung on Great Grandmother’s tree, were three baby rattles that had once belonged to each of us kids when we were babies.
