I loved reading them. I remember seeing lighted decorations like those you describe. I can imagine how they would fascinate a child. Thanks so much for sharing!!!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-58780694014569362702012-12-06T00:54:15.030-05:002012-12-06T00:54:15.030-05:00I love small towns at Christmas!

I was always fascinated by those decorations when we'd go through town on the way to my grandmother's. There was a candle, a candy cane, a wreath, and an angel, I think, several of each of those, made of what seemed to be strips of plastic with lights on them. And there was a large star on top of the water tower on the edge of town. So many happy memories of that little town! All that to say I loved the description of your town!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08733406219995902188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-3217468500257770412012-12-05T09:03:40.221-05:002012-12-05T09:03:40.221-05:00Oh, Mrs. Smith,
I'm so glad you enjoyed the ...Oh, Mrs. Smith, <br /><br />I'm so glad you enjoyed the description of our town. It was short -- I didn't have a lot of time -- but am thankful it conveyed a bit of the atmosphere to you. Our town is a college town and the downtown used to have a sort of gritty look to it, but over the past few years it has taken on a very nice vintage look which we enjoy.<br /><br />For years we cut trees off our own acres, then we bought them at tree farms for a few years. Friends gave us this older artificial tree when they downsized. The trunk is real wood and the tree far more realistic than any trees I have seen in the stores. But I fear that this, indeed, will be its last year.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping in. I must get over and visit your place as well. I always love it when I see you have put up a new post!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-5959324578695965342012-12-02T21:57:08.516-05:002012-12-02T21:57:08.516-05:00Mrs. T, I loved reading your description about the...Mrs. T, I loved reading your description about the atmosphere in your little town - so much that I had to read it a second time. :) <br /><br />Like you, we have an artificial tree that we keep thinking that it may not make it another year, but we are so fond of it and can't retire it, although we keep having to repair broken parts. It's a large tree, takes us all day to get up, and has been dubbed the "monster tree," but is so full and pretty. I used to put a tree up in our bedroom and it does make a room so cozy. I miss that, but have our room too full of furniture this year to put one up. <br /><br />Hope you have a great week as you get your house all Christmasy!
