Kayelle, you reminded me of this:

[SIZE=+2]Three Wise Women[/SIZE]

​

[SIZE=+1]You do know what would have happened if it had been three wise WOMEN instead of three wise men, don't you?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]They would have asked for directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and brought practical gifts.[/SIZE]

and there would be peace on earth! ,......thanks Taxi, I love that!

I'll probably leave ours up for another week, too. Meant to post this earlier, but have been busy I love decorating the tree because pulling out my favorite ornaments reminds me of the people and places they came from and brings me great joy.

We got the white ornament, a clodagh, when we visited Ireland in 2003:

This one is handmade by my mother and it's over 40 years old:

There used to be a Christmas shop in our neighborhood when we first bought our house; we bought a few boxes of the hand-painted glass balls each year. The snowflakes remind me of growing up in Michigan.

A former neighbor's child made this gingerbread bear for us about 15 years ago.

My favorite aunt, now deceased, gave us this gorgeous ornament.

One of our former exchange students from Germany gave us this one.

Hope you're continuing to enjoy the holiday season!

I too have a memory tree. Our first ornament to go on the tree each year is "our first Christmas together" one. It went up this time for the 33rd time. Each ornament on the tree has a special memory and story to go with it.

GG, what lovely ornaments you have on your tree

I love the purple one with the Christmas trees on it and the snowflakes

Our make shift tree that we took with to the B&B where my mom works. We opened gifts under the Boma and my son attempting to do an African dance





Better late than never lol!

That's strange. I can see them well when I log in. Must be the format, maybe your PC doesn't support it

Snip, I have a Mac, it pretty much supports all formats of images...maybe there was an issue when you uploaded them

When I clicked on the images it was really weird as it opened up Gmail???

 

[Snip 13]

I'll try again!

 

[Kylie1969]

Still cant see them Snip...keeps taking me to Gmail, very odd
