Description
A decorated Christmas tree has a personality all its own...reflecting that of the people who decorated it. Our tree has such a mixture of ornaments. Some that are 40 to 50 years old, that belonged to my grandmother; some that the children handmade in art class; a great number that were gifts to our children -- so they are represent their current interests and achievements on the year they were given. We've also collected ornaments as travel souvenirs from our vacations, and these bring back nice memories.
I admire and appreciate the aesthetics of a tree that is decorated in a color-coordinated theme -- they really are beautiful. But I treasure the hodge-podge of ornaments on our tree, that tell our family story in their own way.
