The tree....




Rachel and I finished decorating the tree last night. It has been up and a "work in progress" for a few weeks. This year we decided to do a "theme" tree, something totally different from our normal decorating. We put the Christmas tree in the kitchen, and decorated it all with cinnamon dough made to look like ginger bread. I made the tree topper Ginger Bread Man out of craft paper. We had a lot of fun making and painting the ornaments, and the end result makes me smile. I think next year I will go back to having a big Christmas tree in the living room, with our miss-matched collection of ornaments from the past quarter of a century, but have a small tree in the kitchen with ginger bread again, too. It's a happy thing!
