And Peace and Joy to all of you who do not celebrate Christmas!

Tree 2009

For the past few years we have only put lights on our tree. Our Christmas decorations are still in storage after our kitchen remodel. They are closer to coming out, though. Just one more step and then we can unload the storage facility. Next year we will have all of our own decorations.

This year my mom went to her storage room and got her ornaments. She and The Child decorated our tree with her ornaments. It looks beautiful!

Below is a detail. The teapot ornament is really a chime. I decided to put it on the tree this year so I could admire it.
