Gone are the days of Christmas in every room, dinner table overflowing with food and too many people to fit at one table. I am thankful that the some of the traditions are still intact and have not gone away. We enjoy them still, only on a smaller scale.Our hand-picked tree no longer arrives by bus, yes but, from the home property far away. Over the years our Christmas tree transitioned from one that needed a tall person to put the star on the top to one that sat quite nicely on the old desk, and this is the year of another change.
The idea had simmered for a few months, the planning stage took a morning of sketches and calculating measurements. The making of our new tree had me rooting through the button jar, yes I still have one of those, finding the twine I wanted, digging through my leather craft bins and cutting branches from the yard. Once everything was gathered, the plan made a few detours before it was settled on the final design.

Our Family Heritage Tree is made with love from the heart using simple items found here at home and adorned with decorations made by our children and myself. It includes some memory pieces like the balls that hung on our tree when I was a child and special ornaments that hold cherished memories of Steve and my Christmases.
The lights are the only modern factor, but they too have been part of our Christmas Tree’s tradition for decades.
Merry Christmas,
Ann
