Another look at Christmas Tree

Looking through my house each part has a potential to be a favorite. One part I would consider my favorite only stands for about 2 months. Christmas time comes and goes but that tree is left standing in my mind because of the significance. As a young child the tree held me captive standing at 7 feet tall. Still to this day the size of it mesmerizes me and takes me back to my younger years. Not just the size of it but how each light shimmered off the green needles each with its own distinct color. We had 7 kids in the family each had a chance to decorate that massive tree. Each night we would find comfort under the beauty of the blinking lights. Soft mellow Christmas music would lull us into the whimsical magic of those lights. During one Christmas I was the one chosen to place the angel a top the tall tree. My small arms could never reach the height of that massive tree. I carefully climbed a ladder to set the angel atop our tree. This completed the perfection of the beauty of the magic of our tree. During Christmas day the family would gather to talk about what we enjoyed most about Christmas. As we gathered the music softly played still keeping tune even with the family chatter. When I got the chance to say what I loved most about Christmas my choice was always that tree. So even though our tree only stands for 2 months it has to be my favorite. It holds a special place over all the other things that I could call my favorites.
