Trimming The Tree




The Same Old Tree.....

Well, It is a Start, Dear Readers! I have succeeded in dragging the Same Old Christmas Tree out of storage.... with very little loss of ornamentation, and put it up in the Same corner of the Lovely Old Dollhouse Living room! And to my eternal Joy.... the Lights work!!!

I am not the only one who thinks it is a Magical thing of incredible Beauty.... Pollyanna has always had a weakness for Christmas decorations too... and she is only too eager to share the decorated tree with all the Family...

Arthur and Victor agree that it is a particularly Lovely tree....
But they both love Pollyanna Dearly, 
so I am Sure they would agree that whatever tree she put up was Beautiful!

Joanna is more interested in greeting her parents, Helen and Charles...

They have lost track of how many times they have come to admire this tree...
But they are always happy to come join in the Merriment...

And Helen thinks that Every Year the First glimpse is the most Magical...
As they are arriving with the anticipation of Joy to come....!
 
 
Sally May and Annabelle and Chip are the last to arrive....
But that is because Sally May got carried away with her Baking....

She had the whole kitchen of the Shabby Sister House 
filled with baking Gingerbread and sugar cookies....


She suddenly realized what Time it was....

"Annabelle," she said, "We need to hurry and put the cookies away!" 
"It is Time to go see the Christmas Tree...!"

But then Annabelle says "We didn't have our Tea yet..!"
(It is in the teapot under the Tea cozy stitched by Rosanna....!)
"We will have it later..." says Sally May.... 
"it will stay warm under the cozy!"
 
 
And off they went to the Lovely Old Dollhouse....
 
 
And they weren't even late after all....


The evening was just getting started!

Well, I don't know about you, Dear Readers, but every year I Imagine I am going to get ready for Christmas earlier... and make more amazing decorations.... and Finish drawing my Christmas Card early.... but Alas! I don't know where the Time goes! I have spent the weekend trying to put the trees up in my RL house... they are up with the lights on... but not yet decorated! And yes... they go up in the same spot every year... with practically the same decorations.......
Hmmmm...... I wonder... No!... not enough Time to make major changes!!!
And I still have to draw this year's Christmas Card.... so making minis will have to wait...!

But for now Dear Readers,
As we are getting ready for Christmas 
and Trimming the Trees...
I, like Pollyanna, am once again in Love 
with this Same old Christmas Tree!
