I created this Christmas card from a photo I took many years ago of one of mom's Christmas trees to send to my online buddies, well you are my online buddies so MERRY CHRISTMAS ..... just go with it, I know not everyone celebrates but hey, isn't it the thought that counts? I hope everyone has a superfantastic holiday season. Sooo, how much of the shopping have you gotten done for all those special meals and presents your planning?

What a lovely photo. Real candles, too! Haven't seen real candles on a tree for at least 20years.

I think it's a lost art. Mom was used to it, she was also born in 1916 and the world was still getting used to electricity now it seems too many people have forgotten the laws of fire.

I can't remember all that much about Germany @pgntwo I was between 7 and 9 when dad was stationed there. As for candles on the tree, I think it had more to do with mom being comfortable with them and the limited funds she had to provide a nice Christmas, candles worked magic as I just can't seem to get into all t hose electric lighted trees.

@rebelann Yes, alas. I saw my first tree with real candles in Germany some 20 years ago, having been more used to electric lights when I was a child in the 70s.

I'm not shopping this year, our kids are getting money, the hubby doesn't want anything and I have one gift to get for my best friend so that will get done this week. I will be making cookies for the kids to take home too...Merry Christmas to you!

Isn't it nice not to have to shop for gifts anymore? I think Christmas is only about toy r us or what not instead of being just a wonderful time to spend with family. Thank you, I hope your's is happy and safe for you and all your family.
