It's likely time to take down the tree. Taking it down is never as fun as putting it up. :(It's our first *real* tree in many years. The prelit *thinsized* one we had purchased for our old living room did not look so good this year -- half the lights had konked out. I was secretly glad that it had chosen to retire, as I envisioned a real tree in our new home...
Anyhow, it's sad to think that December with its trees and lights is behind us once again. We'll enjoy the tree until Saturday...and then...sigh...good bye.
ps If you click on the photo, you get to see it close up! And yes, there really are hundreds of ornaments...most came as gifts, each with a story...for another blog some day...
The tree was lovely. Taking it down is always bittersweet - but would we enjoy it as much if we had one up year-round? Some things are meant to be savored only for a season, if only to whett our appetites for the next time.
