When we downsized our home, we also had to reduce the size of our tree, which makes it necessary to snuggle the ornaments more closely.
I hope that you will join me throughout the month of December as I post about some special decorations, traditions, collections and memories that bring the joy of the season to our house. Perhaps you will want to respond with your own story or comment about what brings happiness to your heart at Christmas. I would love to hear from you and look forward to sharing a bit of Christmas!

I love ornaments and remembering their history but I've scaled my trees way down, haven't put it up yet but I call it the "five minute" tree.
We have a lot of those kind of ornaments on our tree too, and I love them! I love a "symphony" of ornaments on a tree - so much more meaningful than a themed tree. Our grown children and our grandchildren help us decorate our trees, and they roll their eyes when I start telling a story about each ornament. One of my favorite Christmas traditions. laurie
The Christmas before I married, which would be 1976, my grandmother, Neenie, gave me a box of handmade ornaments for Christmas that year. She made some of them, and a few were handmade wooden ornaments that my grandfather, Bobo crafter. They are so precious to me. That turned out to the be the last Christmas Bobo was alive.I didn't do it intentionally, but I kept the tag from that gift, so I have that and hang it on my tree as well.
