Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Good morning,

We have a "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree" this year and we love it.  Usually we have a tree so big we can hardly get around it.  We got what we thought was a medium size tree this year, then discovered it had a broken trunk when we got it home.  Not a problem.  We had no desire to take it back for another.  We were perfectly happy to cut it off and have a small tree this year.  Our daughter Catherine is the tree artist who makes sure the lights and ornaments are placed properly.

Our Norwegian friends may recognize the Sail Ship Christian Radich in the glass case over the TV.  That was My Honey's first training ship when he went to sea at age 15.  I purchased the completely built model for him for our tenth wedding anniversary quite a few years ago.   Over the years he has had fun pointing out the masts that he climbed and the area of the ship where he slept to our grandchildren.

Everyone gets involved with the tree trimming at our house, but this little elf fell asleep on the couch in front of the fire.

We all enjoyed the evening at home and watched movies together. 

It was a lovely evening!

Merry Christmas!
