I thought I would post one more picture of yet another Christmas Tree. I just returned from a quick visit with my parents in Florida. My mom had a serious fall ten days ago and broke her neck, wrist, and hip. So gals, this is my plug for taking your calcium and doing your weight resistance exercises. I know this has been enough motivation for me. The blessed miracle is that she is going into rehab today, and it appears that she is going to recover.
This picture is of my folks Christmas tree. My mom has often had a color theme, and loves to make many of her ornaments. I think that the use of white is beautiful, especially in climates where it is pretty certain not to be a snow covered day. The lace stars and angels are handmade, and then she added white, ivory, and gold ornaments for a little color. One year when I was a little girl we had a tree with pink lights, pink and silver ornaments, and tinsel. Talk about a tree fit for a princess! LOL
I have seen so many pictures of white on white decorating this year, and I love Evette’s suggestions in the Holiday Tips book. We would love to hear of various color themes from the rest of you. Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas!

1. Deb,
I’m so sorry about your mother. I pray she’ll fully recover. Yes, we have to take good care of ourselves. I like your plug for calcium and exercise. You’re right on.
Her tree is just gorgous. I love the white and gold. Its nice they put up such a beautiful tree as some older people may not do it. I remember my mother -in- law saying, “I hope I never get so old that I won’t put up a Christmas tree”. Shes in her 80s and has one every year.
Your pink tree as a little girl sounds adorable, perfect for Princess Deb.
All the best to your family and especially your mom.
Count your blessings…not your gifts.

2. Hi Deb,
I recently read on your blog site about your parents, your dh and your wonderful life! It is obvious that you are truly blessed and have had a special blessed life. I love the way that you speak about those that you love. I pray that your mom will recover quickly with GOD’s speed. You have such wonderful memories of the great Christmas traditions! What is ever so beautiful is that you take nothing for granted and that is ever so remarkable. The love that you share is apparent in all that you do and share.
Talent, determination and drive runs in the family! Your parents taught you and as a result, they too will be just fine. Be Blessed!!!!
May your entire family have a wonderful, healthy and prosperous New Year!!
