For a year full of exciting travels, who would have noticed how time flies?Well, December 2011 is here and it's 24 days before Christmas Eve...
This time of the year, my most favorite hobby (aside from singing Christmas carols) is decorating our Christmas tree at home.
History tells us that the Christmas tree originated in Germany, pioneered by Martin Luther when he attached lighted candles on his fir tree in his home after being awed by the sight of starlight shining through the branches of the fir trees outside. (oh yes, I did a little research here.) Since then, the Christmas tree has become a symbol of our joyous celebration for the birth of Jesus.
Our family takes part in that celebration.
And putting up a Christmas tree during this yuletide season
has become a family tradition. :-)
GOLD is the theme of this year's Christmas tree! :) <3
And when the night falls, we let the christmas lights blink and sparkle...
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Forever true your colour.
Your boughs so green in summertime
Stay bravely green in wintertime.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Forever true your colour.
(I sang this christmas carol while decorating our tree!)
