I wanted to share with everyone pictures of our Christmas tree and other "Christmasy" trimmings.
Every Christmas, we always mix our tree decorations up. This year, we unanimously decided to do an O Holy Night-type theme. At the local Christmas store, we found some ceramic Virgin with Child ornaments, along with a sterling-colored angel flying underneath a tree-topper star, as well as sapphire blue ribbon with silver stars.
Then, as things appear serious and solemn, the kid in me always comes out. One requirement I've got for a Christmas tree is some sort of anamatronic ornament that possesses the quality of something you'd buy for a kid. This year, I chose a Mickey Mouse hat and ears from my favorite Disney movie FANTASIA. When you press the button, it plays THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE theme song, and the hat's moon and stars merrily light up to the music.
The previous day might be rough at times, with jobs, carpooling kids here and there, and other stresses of the day. After all, that's just how life can be. But when night comes, the tree's brightly lit, and the "babies" are snuggled tightly with me on the couch. In one precious moment of tranquility, wild geese fly with the moon on their wings and everything suddenly seems right with the world.
