Here's a little snippet of an email from my missionary son this week:
Well I hope everybody is having a great holiday season,
because I sure am. The only times I am a little homesick is seeing the Christmas trees in the
store and wondering if the tree is up at home already, because I know how its
always up around Thanksgiving if not before and thinking if Tanner (our dog) is sleeping
underneath it.
Well there is no Christmas tree this year at our house.
Every year I usually work on putting up the tree the week before Thanksgiving but don't turn on the lights til Thanksgiving Day. As a little country girl I absolutely loved the Christmas tree. It's one of my very favorite memories and one of the things I really love about Christmas.
This year being in a small city apartment we decided to have a fancy fireplace mantle instead. So, I lent my large and small artificial Christmas trees to very good homes this year where they are decorated spectacularly by two very special daughters. Also, I was invited to decorate our office Christmas tree and so I'm gonna be just fine....
