A Christmas Tradition

So tonight we gathered at Mom's place to decorate her Christmas Tree. The word for today is homemade. I may be stretching this one a little bit but there are several homemade decorations that go on this tree each year.
Not everyone could be there but we put on some Christmas music and all had fun decorating the tree.
This is the final result.

Now see, I think that's homemade just for gathering to decorate and help out your Mom! Wonderful. . .

Forgive me if I mention that the focus is a bit fuzzy! Was that intentional? It looks such a pretty tree!

[Danette Thompson]

How nice that you do this for your mom!
