Pictured in the mosaic photo above is the first tree I put up ...every year ...always. If I decide not to/can't do anymore decorating for Christmas ...this one little tree still goes up. I guess I would say that it has become a tradition in our family.
It all started a few years ago when I purchased three of these little trees. I gave one to each of my grandsons when they were just babies. I wanted them to have their very own Christmas tree. I also wanted my grandsons to see this very same tree when they were visiting us at Christmas...you know, seeing something familiar.
I remember when the little guys came tugging at my apron one Christmas with wide eyes and smiles announcing to me that I had the same tree that I had given to them. I told them the reason why and received even bigger smiles in return.
Special moments in time.
I love how the tree looks so at-home with the mercury glass candle stick holders and lamps.
