I am so happy that I have some photos of Christmas past. They bring me great joy.
I am feeling a lot better and the dark cloud that was above me has moved on . And, the sparkle of the holidays has filled that space . Many posts that I have read have helped me to realize that many are feeling the emotional effects of how drastically our world has changed in so many ways, just as I have . Recently I have read about the topic of Psychological Resilience and I plan to do more studying on the subject.
This really was a beautifully decorated tree with many ornaments that had been purchased as little remembrances of places I have traveled like a Cup and Saucer Ornament from The Fairmont Empress Tea Room, Victoria, British Columbia or a Glockenspiel Clock Ornament from Munich, Germany or a Gold Glittered Lighthouse Ornament from the coast of Oregon or a Fuzzy White Sheep from Wales, UK. They are all tucked in there somewhere !
A simpler Christmas presentation. And, certainly less time consuming in the preparation .
Holiday Greetings To All.

I think this was five years ago and it was so enjoyable .

WOW!!! What a gorgeous and spectacular picture of your hometown! You have such talent and an eye for decorating your trees so beautifully, and even when they are as your last picture shows, a "simpler" Christmas presentation. Your trees make such a lovely statement, no matter how you decorate them!! Wishing you and Miss Ivy a blessed and peaceful Christmas! {{hugs}}
ReplyDeleteI have such fond memories of your little town. Someday we will return! We also collect Christmas bits and bobs during our travels. Our tree never looks as beautiful as yours, but everything has a special memory attached. Merry Christmas to you dear friend and best wishes for a safe and peaceful 2019.
