Christmas trees are the most important Christmas decorations in our home. For those who celebrate Christmas but are unable to have a Christmas tree, you have my deepest sympathy. We look forward to the day we go Christmas tree shopping or the day we pull our artificial tree out of storage. Either way, the season begins with the beloved Christmas tree.
Every year we send and receive Christmas cards. And every year, I add to the collection. I can’t bear to part with a single one. Some of the cards are from friends with growing children with their pictures on the front. It’s wonderful watching them grow up.
Some of the cards are of beautiful winter scenes, or of Santa, or perhaps of the baby Jesus. I cherish them all—especially the ones of friends and relatives that have passed on.
