One of my favourite things about Christmas time is decorating the tree. As a little girl, this always meant having a cup of tea and eating Shortbread Cookies with my Mom, while we listened to Bing Crosby singing Christmas Carols in the background. We would spend hours carefully decorating, making sure everything looked just right. Afterwards, we would sit by the fire, and watch the twinkling lights on the tree, and the way the tinsel sparkled.
Not much has changed when it comes to decorating my own tree. I always have a cup of tea in my hand, have a few Shortbread Cookies while I do so, and I still listen to good old Bing. I’ve added some Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Sammy Davis Jr. to the mix now, just so I never grow tired of hearing the same thing over and over again for hours while I decorate. 🙂
I get quite a few ornaments from family members, who obviously know me very well – I like gold, sparkly things best, I am fascinated by Ancient Egypt, I love Las Vegas, and above all else, I love Music !!! All of these things are well – represented on my tree.
I would love to hear your good memories about putting up your Christmas Tree … 🙂
