By coincidence, the last two houses I lived in, there were 4 pines trees in the garden. One year, my daughter suggested we decorated one of the trees. It was fantastic. We had strangers coming to the front door and commented that the tree made them happy.
I love decorating Christmas trees. The tradition went back to when I was a little baby. Dad had gone to England and came home with this tradition. There are lots of memories. One year, the wind blew the tree down, and all the baubles broke. Another year. mum grew her own Norfolk pine. She brought the tree in, together with a nest with eggs or was it nestlings. Dad ordered her to take the tree back downstairs to the garden. Mum removed the nest and tied it to another tree. What happened after, I can't remember, or did I block out that memory.
Now, I have one special decoration for each member of the family.
Merry Christmas every one!
Peace to mankind.
Oh Christmas tree,
Oh Christmas tree,
With faithful leaves unchanging,
Oh Christmas tree,
Oh Christmas tree, with faithful leaves unchanging
Not only green, in summer’s heat,
But also winter’s snow and sleet Oh Christmas tree,
Oh Christmas tree, with faithful leaves unchanging
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely
Oh Christmas tree,
oh Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely
Each year you bring to me delight,
Gleaming in the Christmas night
Oh Christmas tree,
Oh Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely
