I love putting up the Christmas tree each year, but some years are more memorable than others. My favorite memories are of trimming the trees with my children and grandchildren. It seems like we are opening boxes of treasure as we pull out the ornaments. Everyone has their favorites that they remember from year to year.
Luckily even the ornaments my parents had survived through years. We usually end up with ornaments and lights tangled together before we are finished because I always try to string the lights first and everyone else wants to put them on last!
Finally, the best moment is always lifting one child up to put the Angel and Star on the tree to finish! The most precious times were when we all would finish and my oldest granddaughter would get in the big rocker and read our favorite Christmas stories.
