You white tree is resplendent, Raina...LOVE it! It is so bright and cheerful. And it was fun to learn of your Christmas traditions then and now. The ornament close-ups are so ambient, very dreamy...Since we're going away this Christmas we'll not be putting up a tree. Too depressing to come home to and take down--LOL! But we did a little decorating during the weekend, and lit the first advent light. I was brought up Catholic. But since my 20's have been a practicing Buddhist...But I still like the advent lights, a tradition I came to know more in the house since living here in Norway. It is fun to learn how everyone celebrates. Happy Days basking in the glow...

Growing up it was the same--tree up and decorated shortly after Thanksgiving and then taken down Jan 2. Lights on every night! If I had the flexibility, I'd do it that way too!Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16478839034249164862noreply@blogger.com
