The Saga of the Xmas Tree
Because we have nosey cats, years ago we made a Feliz Navidad tree to avoid the chewing of plastic needles. This is what we had.....
We tried that again this year, but after the palm tree was constructed, branches started falling down. The plastic attachments on the trunk broke. It started to look like a skinny tree, so we unhooked all the branches and have a Charlie Brown tree!....
That day we got a wonderful Xmas card from a dear friend which contained a lovely poem....
The Meaning of the Christmas Tree
Each part of the Xmas tree celebrates Christ's birth and
tells the story of how God sent His son to Earth.
The wood reminds us of the manger where he lay and of
the rugged cross where He gave his life one day.
The evergreen shows the eternal life Christ gives--
anyone who believes in Him forever lives!
The decorations represent blessings from above and
inspire us to thank the Lord for His tender love.
The shining lights show us how we're to do the same,
as we share His grace and seek to glorify His name.
So may each beautiful tree bring honor to our King,
and may we celebrate Christ's love in everything!

Merry Christmas, your decorations are delightful !!
I would hardly call that a Charlie Brown tree! It is very pretty, in all it's various forms!! It certainly has served it's purposes!!! Mantle is lovely, too!!!
If I can ever find the pic, I'll show you my C.B. tree from about 1971 when a certain scrooge wouldn't let me have a tree!!!
