Redwolftimes lovely Christmas poem made me appreciate the
Christmas tree even more. Each ornament tells a story and
each one dates from a time in our family that is sentimental
and precious.

My oldest ornament is one of Bobby's baby shoes. It is
worn and tattered but tells the story of his so active
toddlerhood. There is the little sleigh loaded with a tiny
Christmas tree and packages that my favorite sister in law
made for us. There is a variety of homemade ornaments,
dear to my heart. Then, there are sleeker, trendier ones
that feature peacocks.

Ted made a wooden tree top angel, twenty eight Christmas's
ago that I love. We need to rehab her with a little
glitter so she has more sparkle but she represents our
first Christmas together.

In essence, The Christmas tree tells the story of our family.
