It's the time of year to get sentimental. This ceramic Christmas Tree was made in the 70s and my mother absolutely loved it. She's been gone almost 31 years but I never stop missing her. Every year when I bring this tree into my living room I can't help but think of all the Christmases that my mom made special. Moms do that. They think of things that no one else does and they get them done for their families. Thanks, Mom, for all those great memories!
This photo is from a friend of mine, Gilda. She puts together a "few of her favorite things" in her kitchen - her Mom's retro 1950s Betty Crocker Cooky Book, her Mother-in-law's kitchen Christmas tree, her Gram's measuring cup and her Father-in-law's retro flour sifter. All these precious memories lovingly displayed in one spot to treasure and remember loved ones.
What Christmas memories are a focal point in your home this season?
So sweet. My mother-in-law had the identical tree in a green version.
ReplyDeleteFor us the ornaments on the tree are a flood of memories each year - a first Christmas ornament for each child and now grandkids, ornaments from dear friends, ornaments from vacation spots over the years, vintage ornaments from relatives long gone. We simplified our whole routine this year and that's given me more time to focus on what's most important - family, friends, the Lord, and all the many blessings we enjoy.
Love your posts, Maria!
That's really nice, Nancy, that your ornaments take you on a memory journey. It's good for us to reflect on all the seasons that the Lord has taken us through and remember his blessings! Thanks for the comment!
