The Journal Jar question was something about "What was your favorite Christmas Ornament?"
If you notice there are apples on each of these trees.....they came from our first Christmas as Husband and Wife....we weren't going to have a tree mostly because it was an expense that we didn't need and we didn't have any decorations yet. However a couple of angels namely Dad and Mom dropped off a beautiful little Christmas tree with red lights and apples.....it was beautiful and I have used them ever since.
Every year Mom added more things and so did I until we had too many for the tree. Favorites were the little sheep, sleds, pigs.
However if I go back to my childhood the one decoration that I loved was actually on the tree that they had at church in the chapel (not allowed any more) it was a candle light filled with liquid so the whole thing would light up and bubbles would travel from the bottom up....it mesmerised me during sacrament meeting. (I really don't know how to describe it but I can sure still see it in my minds eye) Merry Christmas.
