Grandma sat and crocheted them, isn't she a dear?
Hang some lovely fans from the the theatre, pretty pink,
I find the pearls romantic, what do you think?
The international year of peace was 1992
The UN had these ornaments a friendly gift brand new.
Some baubles are traditional, like these from childhood days
The hand painted designs are nice, a keepsake I would say.
And Auntie's homemade hearts, her needle work is such a treasure
Family decorations a gift of love that can't be measured
And high atop the tree, the angel is such a peaceful sight
The tree trimming is done, it's time, so let's turn on those lights!
Our tree is decorated with treasures old and new
It is time to share it's beauty now, with every one of you.
Have a Happy Holiday. May it be wondrous friends!
Love and peace, good health for all... in two thousand and ten!
this was just great - poetry and all. I admire anyone who has tree trimmings from childhood or even their children's childhood. I do not have one thing from even 10 years ago, for that matter nothing new either. I hope you both have a wonderful and loving Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely tree! A memory to go along with each ornament, I'm sure. Wishing you both all the blessings of Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAcchh, we are such slugs. You have had at least as busy a week as we have, but your tree is up and you are ready to go. I love hanging up the ornaments each year because they are loaded with significance, all of them. Have a wonderful week and soak up that family-time.
ReplyDeleteI was worth waiting for. I love the old ornaments with their memories.

that was wonderful. I do not have decorations from when I was child but I have ones that I have had since we were married 37 years ago and my daughters have decorations that we bought them when they were children and they have taken them to their homes. So many memories in them. *s*
