My Woodland Tree

This is the first year that I did not put up the kid’s Christmas tree. You know the one with all the ornaments the kids grew up with. Last year I put it up in my cabin along with a Santa tree. This year I only have a small snowman tree in my cabin. My woodland tree is in the big house. And it’s beautiful. 

I started purchasing woodland ornaments back when I worked at Eitel’s Florist and Gifts. I had hopes of one day having a cabin in a woods. I left Eitel’s the last day of 2018 after working there for seven years. Holidays at Eitel’s didn’t disappoint.

I was blessed with my cabin a year ago but the woodland tree is in the house. The woodland theme, though, is carried throughout our home and cabin.

Accumulating snow began on November 29th, the day of our family Thanksgiving. We would have a couple days of melting and then the snow would return. And it continues today, along with temps that will fall below zero. Seems rather early in the season to have this much snow and cold but, honestly, it’s been a winter wonderland. 

Indoors or out, this beautiful holiday season surrounds me. Throw in the Hallmark channel with all the sappy Christmas movies and I’m quite content.

I’m grateful for the beauty of the outdoors and the warmth within our home. Today is a good day.
