There is a task, with sadness, I have to complete in January and that is packing up the Christmas tree and its ornaments. I spent three days dressing the tree and two days removing each bespoke ornament safely wrapped and stored til next December.
I take my time, each loved ornament wrapped in tissue and stored in labelled boxes. Harlequins in one, crystals and antique balls in others, feathered and china birds, those lovingly created by friends in another, and so on. I do not enjoy this job as the glimmer disappears in my home as does the enjoyment of memories but it is time.
Slainte to this December when I unwrap my beloved beauties and smile in remembrance of dear friends, and the fun of finding that one special ornament, when I dress the tree once again.
