No pics this year, have no tree, nor have my parents, but last year . My mum felt like wanting to have one once more. Strangely we all had a strange farewell feeling last year, thinking that maybe it would, be the last time we all would have a united and "good" christmas day experience with tree and good feelings and us all three around. While my parerents both still live (early and mid-70s), that this time things went different meanwhile became obvious indeed.
No pics, sorry, but a short film. The tree comes in the second half of it.
The crib btw was done and painted by my mum in the early 70s, she was in her late twenties then. We live din Lübeck, and the stones were collected at the brodtner Ufer of the Baltic, near Travemünde. I still remember the day of that walk, I was at elementary school.
Nice squirreltree there indeed, Eichhörnchen. But I cannot see the drey?
P.S. I think we should leave it to presenting our trees. You see, everybody decorating a christmas trees does it the way he likes it, and why risking to hurt somebody by not listing his creation" high enough". Its no competition, but a family festivity of joy and beauty, memories and company and good feelings, hopefully. Lets leave it to that!
