Thanksgiving was yummy and fell so nicely into place another thing I was thankful for. After the turkey is goobled it is time to decorate our Christmas tree. I enjoyed the jellybeans ravaging the boxes and squeeling with delight if they discovered an ornament they made yrs ago, or had a picture of them on it. I remember long ago, when I was planning on decorating my first christmas tree. That would have most likely been a peachy southwest with howling coyotes or maybe sunflowers. My mom gave me wonderful advice "Don't make it a theme tree when you have children their homemade gifts won't fit the theme." I love the eclectic tree we have, many memories tied to a majority of our ornaments. It is almost a gift in itself each year as we open the boxes and remember all we have been blessed with. Mom's really do know what they are talking about! Thanks Mom!!
