I believe that I have the prettiest house during Christmas time! Last night, after working hard all day, Mom put the finishing touches on what is another Christmas decorating masterpiece.
The sparkling tree is a picture of past and present, with the delicate store-bought ornaments hanging right along side the simpler, yet equally special one painstakingly made of popsicle sticks and glue. Boughs of greenery decorate the windows and other various places, lending a dash of holiday color wherever they've been placed. Under the dimmed lights, the myriad of sweet-smelling candles sprinkled throughout the house lend themselves together to create the special ambiance of peace. And in places of honor, quietly sit the nativity scenes, who just like the tree, are quietly sharing their memories of past, present... as well as the future.
All this, along with the comforting warmth coming from the roaring fire inside the wood-burning stove, come together to create the peaceful, yet celebratory feel of another month to celebrate one of the greatest moments in history.
Yes, it's definitely Christmastime at the Trout's!
