Oh Christmas Tree!

"Our hearts grow tender with
childhood memories and love of
kindred, and we are better throughout
the year for having, in spirit, become
a child again at Christmas-time."
           ~Laura Ingalls Wilder

   I have finally managed to take some pictures of my Christmas tree! We have had so much bad weather lately that there's been almost no light in my house to take pictures. The temperatures have been very, very cold (-35 with the wind chill) and there has been so much snow! I managed it though and here they are! Our tree is all shimmery gold, cream, pale ivory, and pearl. I love it - especially at night time when the ornaments glisten in the candlelight. I love to sit with a cup of peppermint tea and gaze at it. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend and that you are enjoying the Christmas season!

    1. hey nice post mehn. I love your style of blogging here. The way you writes reminds me of an equally interesting post that I read some time ago on Daniel Uyi's blog titled How To Stay Positive Around Negative People During Christmas .
      keep up the good work.

    1. Hi Sandy!
      The tinsel tree is one of my favourites - my Mum and I always have our eyes open for them. This one we found a few years ago and I like how feathery it is. Keep searching! They pop up when you least expect them! Thankyou for your lovely words!
