I remember when i was 7 years old and we went to find a tree and somehow in the back of my mind Charlie Brown christmas was in my mind. When we came upon an ugly tree I impressed upon my parents that this was the tree we needed because it would be left all alone on christmas with no home. My step sisters cried about how they wanted the big tree and i cried because i wanted the ugly tree because christmas was about giving, and i wanted to give the ugly little tree a home. Well, my step father dragged that little ugly tree home and preceded to drill holes into it (unbeknownst to me) and then my mother found other twigs from the twigs on the ground somewhere and filled in the holes and we decorated it and it was beautiful! I really wish i had a picture from that christmas because i felt i had done something wonderful. As i look back I am proud that i had a heart of gold and that Charlie Brown was and will always be an American Classic. Peace to all…….enjoy

Thanks Debra,
Christmas will always and forever be seen through the eyes of a child in my opinion. The magic of believing in things that only the imagination of a child can conjur up! Ha, well and that it is Jesus that we celebrate as well! I am happy to hear your festivities were Grand! Happy New year to you also!! I am busy at work on Valentines beads and others i will take over the end of the week!!! Wow, these holidays fly by anymore! talk soon
