Everything was on a small scale this year, including our Christmas tree. We had packed most of our ornaments and decorations away last year because we were certain that we were moving soon. When it turned out that we would be here for yet another Christmas, we couldn't bear to unpack everything. So we decided to choose a small tree and put a few small ornaments on it that were on the top of the box. It wasn't so bad, really--it did the job, I guess. We just didn't have a lot of Christmas spirit this year--a small tree with a few decorations seemed appropriate. We almost skipped having a tree, but it just didn't feel right to do that--so we got a small tree at the last minute. We didn't even water it because we put it up just a day or two before Christmas--no need to try to prolong it! Anyway--everything was on a smaller scale this year, but it still seemed to turn out okay anyway. Still, we couldn't help looking to the future a bit and imagining a bigger and better Christmas NEXT year--HOPEFULLY in Florida!! We thought that THIS year we were going to be there having a Florida Christmas--I cannot believe that we are STILL here!!! But...maybe next year...we HOPE!!!
