A wise lady once said to the woman I love most in all the world, that a Christmas Tree is really a celebratory totem of family memories. This elf-made wooden tree first appeared in our home nine years ago but some of the ornaments are much older. It holds memories of our children and grandchildren growing up and of parents and grandparents long dead.
The ornaments that adorn its branches, remind us of friends, former colleagues and of shared travel through time and the world. It is a much loved decorative seasonal record of our long life together. It celebrates both Christmas present and very many past Christmases. A lot of memories are held by one small wooden tree, which shares our sitting room for four weeks in December and January each and every subsequent year.
