So This is Christmas

For a multitude of reasons, we didn’t put the ornaments on the tree this year until tonight. T-man actually commented that we usually do the tree during the day, but not this year. While it is later in the month,  it meant all four of us were able to participate which I will definitely cherish. It was also made special this year as we were a little more thankful for all the special ornaments we still had to grace our tree. Some make us laugh. Some remind us of others. Some remind us of special places. Some tug at our heartstrings. But they all hold memories. And this is Christmas for us this year.  A real tree with ornaments that will grace the tree for fewer days this year, but a reminder of our good fortune and so much more.
