We have the goods but are the poorer not the richer for our materialistic abundance. Oh..and Happy Christmas.... however you celebrate it!Carol Hedgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359578624109905400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867529070283476350.post-39374072872756774462015-12-13T21:17:30.722+00:002015-12-13T21:17:30.722+00:00Love keeping up with traditions in our house as a ...Love keeping up with traditions in our house as a child my parents put up the tree & decorations on xmas eve and we thought the fairies (as we were told) had put up the decorations over night I continued this which was not easy in the days of time limits etc these days both children grown we still do not put up or decorate the tree until xmas eve a lovely family tradition some of the decorations are glass 2nd generation hopefully will pass them on Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436776934333889873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867529070283476350.post-15652540792849546182015-12-10T15:27:57.127+00:002015-12-10T15:27:57.127+00:00Thank you, Elaina!

My son and I decorated our tree shortly after I wrote this post, so I'm telling him the tale, about how every bauble has a story, and he holds one up and says, "OK, so what's the story behind this one?" <br /><br />Of course he would pick one I can't actually remember ...
