I always like to get a bit ahead of the crowd when it comes to wishing season's greetings, so I've used our Christmas Eve 2005 tree, here in Las Vegas to give you some idea of how we do reflections on a tree here. Our tree this year sits in the same window and is a bit bigger, but the gifts are not piled around yet, so Tree 2005 will have to do.
Christmas is so much different in the snowless desert, but I have many memories of our snow bound holidays in the east. Just to give you an idea of how it may have looked, this particular picture I picked up is 'very' close to what our home in PA looked like as our little kiddos waited for santa to arrive.
A Snowy Christmas Eve
This is the beginning of the holiday stories in "I Smell A Memory". I'm not happy with the necessity of reading 'up', but it is necessary if I want to give you time to enjoy each episode of the celebrations as they occur, chapter by chapter. And I hope you do enjoy them.
BEST WISHES OF PEACE AND LOVE TO THE STREAM
From
GRANNYJO,

Jo, loved the pics and the memories - I have similar pics - snow and winter scenes in BC, Canada in my youth and now roses blooming in Arizona at Christmas! Loved the line about memories.
cheers
