I just cannot bring myself to take down the Christmas tree this year.
For as long as I can remember, I've always loved the warm and fuzzy feelings that comes along with a lit tree. For some reason Christmas lights have always made me feel safe and secure, and this year I look for that feeling more than ever. As I trimmed the tree, I hung each ornament in anticipation of spending the holiday with Kerriann AND Kevin. And now that that time has come and gone, it's hard for me to let go of the positive feelings that I associate with our Christmas tree, our FIRST family Christmas tree.
I know sooner or later it's just going to have to come down. But I'm going to enjoy it for at least a few more days as I reminisce about all of the memories from the past few weeks.
What a beautiful photo! I love the Christmas season too, there is just something about it that makes me smile. Our tree is still up too, I've been avoiding taking it down. But your right, sooner or later it will go back in the boxes awaiting next year. Until then, I'm still in the Christmas spirit. :D
