I wanted the house and tree to be wonderful for my mother-in-law...and didn't have alot of money to just start a new "theme"...I am more traditional anyway...Dear, sweet, Aunt Lilly left us so much...a house (want to buy a house on a lake in Tennessee?), and wonderful heirlooms...one of which is this precious angel music box..which, the night before her memorial service, began playing (without any winding up).."Silent Night"...with the last "Sleep in heavenly peace"...her message to us...So....this is the angel..she is our tree topper, and probably will be for many years to come...
A wonderful addition to our tree are the crystals, that a lovely lady gave me (she worked for a lighting company in Madison..) that had accumulated over the years...I have them on the tree, and they catch the light beautifully...
I have much more to say, but am going to go watch a film with my family...here's a bit of what we have going on ...in the present (and a few shots of the past.)..it's the best I can do for now...enjoy!
Hi Jess,
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! I remember last year you were decorating all of the trees for Macys. What a difference a year makes!
And all of the stories you told of Aunt Lilly...
Have a wonderful time with your family. I miss you much... and wish I could be one of the people dropping in for the potluck!!
