I’ve been a grownup for many decades now, at least chronologically, but I still look with anticipation towards the fall holidays. By mid-September all my Hallowe’en decorations are out, on November 1 I chunk the orange for Thanksgiving and very fall decor, and the day after Thanksgiving up goes the Christmas tree. This year, because two of my three adult children and their families were coming for Thanksgiving but not for Christmas, I put up ALL the Christmas decorations except the tree. Fortunately my husband didn’t kill himself climbing the huge Redbud tree in our front yard to string colored lights!
I also send Christmas cards the day after Thanksgiving. One of my cousins laughs that my card is always the first one she receives. This year I used a photo of one of the trees in our yard. We had a 24 inch snow in December 2018 and I had already decorated a small evergreen. With ornaments peeking through snow covered branches, it made the perfect picture for this year’s card.
SO, whether you celebrate Christmas or any other holiday, or none at all, I wish you blessings and joy as I share this little tree with you.
