Every year my mother made Christmas cut-outs and frosted and decorated them with colored sugar. The Santas were always red with a green sac, the Xmas trees always green, the angels always blue with yellow wings, the bells always blue. When my girls were old enough to help, they mixed up the colors and my first instinct was to correct them -- no, that's not how they're done. Like you, I realized it doesn't matter and it's more important that they helped to make the cookies -- that's what they'll remember. Funny. Our others did so many things right. And we're doing other things right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-34534635029140453662010-12-18T10:57:55.175-05:002010-12-18T10:57:55.175-05:00Beautiful.

I still have the picture of me standing next to it, grinning.<br /><br />Dusty wants a tree in her room but she'd need a tiny fake one which I haven't gotten around to finding yet. Her room is so cluttered with stuff, I don't know where it would go.

My grandmother gave me an old piece of tinsel and I'd string it through the shelf clips on my bookshelf and hang ornaments (that I made myself, often from old Christmas cards and detritus from Christmases past) from it. When I found a tiny tabletop tree for $5, I got one for his room. He loves colored lights, which Mr. Spy doesn't like on his tree, so we hung some on his bookshelf. He loves it.Harriet M.
