One of my favorite memories when I was little was
decorating the tree with my siblings.
I remember boxes of ornaments and lights
and treats being pulled out.
I also remember all the rights of passage that were
connected to tree decorating.
The first year of being big enough to hang
glass ornaments, or being given an important task
like putting on the lights,
or helping to screw the base of the tree straight.
Being the baby of my family I always loved
to be the one to plug in our star.
So I try and keep up with tradition and
make tree decorating a big deal.
The kids were Very Very eager to help
and of course Ms. A couldn't stand
being height restricted, and got herself a stool
so she could reach almost to the top of our tree.
All month Ms. V was pulling ornaments off
and shaking the dangly beads.
I'm super glad that we have a good vacuum and that
the tree didn't fall over even once this year!
