Tree Topper Angels

Christians eventually took up the practice of placing angel figures at the top of their Christmas trees to symbolize the significance of the angels who appeared over Bethlehem to announce Jesus's birth. If they didn't use an angel ornament as a tree topper, they usually used a star. According to the biblical story of Christmas, a bright star appeared in the sky to guide people to Jesus's birthplace. By placing angels at the top of their Christmas trees, some Christians were also making a statement of faith intended to scare evil spirits away from their homes.

Today was harder than I expected it to be. 

Goal was to decorate the kitchen

And keep downsizing the dcorations.

So far that has not been hard. 

Put away, decorate with or donate.

Until the van arrived to take all those

"Donations" away... then a bit of sad

Crept into the procedure.

I am also having difficulty with some

Of my cutesy plastic ornaments

But staying the "where are you going to use it"

Course of thinking and it usually ends up

In the donation box of ornaments.

The end result will be an amazing

Display of my favourite holiday things.

Less tacky maybe, more me,

But still hard to downsize to.

We watched Christmas Vacation tonight,

It's John's favourite.

Then I was back to work placing the 

Plethora of pinecones

From small to huge in the kitchen

And doing some laundry.

The end of the day results are:

From the kitchen to the back door

Are cleaned, downsized and decorated.

Tomorrow I have a long list of to-do's

In the London area before Remicade

So best I get some sleep.

Good night from John Street
