Memory Tree

 Photos for January 2, 2011

I managed to dismantle most of the Christmas decor except for the tree. I really enjoy the tree and all of the memories associated with the ornaments. Some from our childhoods like the "Stick-O-Pep" guy made from yarn, felt and of course the peppermint LifeSaver roll, or the tiny, white angel with a dress made of tulle that topped all the Christmas trees of my childhood. Treasured antique glass ornaments that once hung on my grandparents tree. Ornaments from "our first Christmas" 21 years ago, and "baby's first Christmas" 9 years ago. Reminders of vacations past, cookie swaps with girlfriends and gifts from friends and family. It's really more of a memory tree that marks the passage of time. So I think I'll enjoy it a little while longer. I still have 4 of the 12 days left.
