My mother would take the tinsel off the tree and save it for the next year.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05695113525798786578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934082776237806721.post-10054385618525861252014-12-15T00:31:50.504-05:002014-12-15T00:31:50.504-05:00Middlesex Village checking in: each piece of tinse...Middlesex Village checking in: each piece of tinsel hung, one by one, with great care for the final bit of magic, always on a freshly cut tree. The night before Christmas, in a living room only lit by the tree lights and the electric candles in the two windows, parents sipping coffee, my sister and I home made egg nog, listening to Christmas music. Sharing snippets of hopes and dreams in most low key way. Wonderful night.

Your mom and mine were similar in their striving for perfection. Remember well how the testing and untangling the lights took so much of the initial joy out of process of decorating the tree. Thankfully we were saved from the fumes of the nail polish. For a time we did switch over to the aluminum tree with the rotating wheel, but we still used the same ornaments. In fact, I still possess many of these same family ornaments and put them on our tree today. So now when one breaks it is like losing an old friend. Merry Christmast!
