The Traditional Tree

By Vickilane

The cranberry/popcorn string, the candy canes, the icicles, the red bows and glass balls. . .


The angel I made from a kit some forty years ago. . .

The crocheted snowflakes from Lillian Vernon (is that mail order business still around?)

A heart Justin made in second grade . . .

And a tree from Josie's kindergarten days . . .


John made this Santa almost fifty years ago when we decorated a tree at my grandparent's house. . .

And a mama and baby pig--just one of my many "favorite" ornaments.It's taken me several days, but The Tree is done! (Josie helped on one of the days.)
