What you see on this pictureis not the Christmas tree we put up this year, but the Christmas tree at my parents' place last year, when it was only partially decorated. A proper, real, natural Christmas tree. It impressed Wolfie very much and he enjoyed putting decorations on it a lot. So much so that this year he asked us to have a "real Christmas tree" here, "just like at grand-papa's and grand-maman's house". We hesitated a bit, but we decided in the end to just stick to the artificial one we have, so we can have it on display a bit longer. And because getting a real one, although I have done so in the past, could be a bit challenging this year. But I was very moved that he remembered that it was a real tree last year and that last Christmas as a special place in his heart already.

i don't think we are having a tree this year which is the first time in 40 years.
ReplyDeleteApparently there is a shortage this year of real Christmas trees available for sale.
ReplyDeleteSending Merry Christmas wishes to you! Great memories for Wolfie!
