It makes me smile to think about decorating our tree when I was little. Now, looking back, the warmest memory is the “ugly ornament“. My Mom made us put this beat up old ornament on the tree; it was my Grandmas. It was okay if we put it in the back of the tree as long as it was there. Now how I wish I had that ornament. It wasn’t until I was older that I could appreciate that “old ornament“...the Christmases it saw and the stories it could tell. I wonder whatever happened to it? I’ll have to ask my Mom.
Trimming the tree, singing Christmas Carols, and being surrounded by loved ones are the treasures of the holiday season. I just love a sparkly Christmas tree so when I saw the new Iron Orchid Designs Christmas Tree Mould I just knew it had to have glitter, lots and lots of glitter! One of my favorite parts of decorating the tree was to add the handfuls of tinsel at the very end; it just didn’t feel complete until all of that glitz was added.
I hope you enjoy t
