Our Christmas tree is a wondrous reminder of the Word that underlines all of life. From the celebrations of Hanukkah to Solstice Day to Christmas, faiths everywhere define this time of the year as a holy and honored season.
Here at Cedar Bluff we fussed and fussed to bring a 15 foot Balsam spruce into the house. Adorned with 600 lights, accented with red bead strands and red glass balls, and finished with the legacy ornaments that remind us of Christmas Past, this tree stands as testimony to every Christmas in our future.
A big thank you to Scott McPherson and Ed for bringing the tree home. Thank you to Doug Guza of Hilltop Nursery for growing and cutting our Christmas tree. Thank you to the rich soils of Huron County for producing evergreens and more.
And, most of all, thank you to my Dad and Mom for bringing me into this wondrous world and raising me up in the Midwest. It's a good place to be from and a good place to be.
Merry Christmas, Dad! And Merry Christmas from under the Willow that shades us all to the many readers of this blog.
Now, if you have read this far, here is a Decorating The Tree 2011, a short video.
