Over time our family’s traditional Christmas tree has changed. What started as a tree of memories had been replaced by a trendier and more Pinterest-styled tree. Every year more and more of our handmade child ornaments along with family memories seem to stay in the box. To be current, I swapped out the colored lights for sleek white. We decided a big tree was best, so we searched for the tallest tree that we could find. The souvenir ornaments from great family trips stayed packed. Not to mention how the antique ornaments from relatives stayed stored because they didn’t “fit in” anymore. The idea of having just one tree changed to more trees complete with different themes. My simple Christmas tree slowly drifted away.
