What’s on YOUR Christmas tree?

My tree is a tree of memories; of places I’ve been and of people I care about. These are a few of the ornaments made by my steno teacher in high school over 30 years ago. I just learned recently that she died. Mrs. F  was a huge part of my life–a mother figure– way back when. All these Christmases later, her memory is brought to the surface, with love and affection as I decorate my tree and unwrap these handmade ornaments.

Happy birthday, Thomas and Matthew!
