Not sure. However I do know that at 72, my tree is up, my garlands are hung and those (ahem) bows are made and I am VERY aware that time is flying by. I don't have all that many Christmas' left and each day and each holiday with my family is a blessing. I have lost my precious highschool sweetheart and soul mate and then lost my miracle second love also. This year I have another chance, and the ticking clock reminds me to enjoy every precious Christmas moment.<BR/>Your paper whites and beautiful china decorated tree are..exquisite. Enjoy every minute, Mary. It goes so quickly. :)<BR/>MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-18149172231654637402008-12-10T18:05:00.000-05:002008-12-10T18:05:00.000-05:00What a lovely arrangement - honestly, I haven't pu...What a lovely arrangement - honestly, I haven't put up my Christmas stuff either.... at least you have your dining room tree up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-51921953358847657622008-12-10T15:40:00.000-05:002008-12-10T15:40:00.000-05:00Your paperwhites are lovely, Mary!
