That is a beautiful graphic of deck the tree. Now why does my tree always look like a hodge podge of ornaments? Hmm guess it’s cause many of the ornaments are a decade or more old?
Gail, in my humble opinion, the most beautiful Christmas tree, is one that has decorations from one’s childhood, ornaments that have been hand made, ornaments received as gifts many years ago from a forgotten friend, saved trim from the first tree shared with your spouse, clay ornaments, carefully painted by a child and that special star that was hand crocheted by grandma’s own hands.
I have a friend that keeps a Christmas tree on her table all year round. Every little ornament has a relevant Scripture attached to it. It is small (about three feet tall) but SO inspiring! Most of the ornaments are charms or small wood carved decorations.
I’ll bet your tree is the most beautiful in your whole city!
I love ornaments acquired over the years. I had a box of red satin balls thaat were spread around to coordinate the hodgepodge..some ornaments were made by my children..I think old ornaments have memories attached to them that make it special...Now even the red satin balls (40 yrs old) have memories and I fill my Mother’s cutglass bowl with them ..and place some around inside my china cabinet at Christmas now that I don’t put up a tree. I have given some of my wooden ones to the children but still display the free standing ones..at least 35 yrs old.
