Christmas Trees are mesmerizing. Decorated or not. Of all
sizes, colors and shapes. Their pretty
lights glisten and glow in the darkness and daylight. When I was a little girl
my parents gave me a miniature tabletop top tree I would put on a nightstand next
to my bed. It had sweet red lights and a yellow star that kept me company
before I fell asleep each night during the holiday season. That tiny tree still
holds it’s magic for me even though the battery compartment stopped working
long ago and the tree no longer lights up. Nowadays I keep Christmas close to
my heart year round by keeping my tree up in the family room. It has white
lights. I used to like white lights on
my tree but as I’ve gotten older I find more comfort and joy in the old
fashioned multi-colored lights. This year I bought a narrow 5 ft, tree for my living room. It replaces an old silver
tree I had there in previous years. The new tree is flocked with snow and pine cones. It sits on top of a game table and
fits perfectly in my window for viewing outside. I can’t tell you the joy I
feel when I see it each day. It reminds me of the wonderment I felt as a child
all those years ago.
