I have a tradition that started when My mom passed away. The first Christmas after her death a friend gave me an Angel. When Christmas was over I just couldn't bring myself to put it away with the other decorations. In fact it stayed on a shelf for several years until we moved to Texas and I finally packed it with the other decorations.
Since then I have always picked one decoration that would remain unpacked for the whole year. A little Christmas all year long. ( yeah I know not a very cool thing for a GRINCH to do)
I never know which one it will be until I go to put them away and then I seem to find it. For whatever reason I seem to find the one that I just can't bare to part with.
Here is my precious decoration for this year. It was given to me by my best friend. It reminds me that she loves me regardless of my ups and downs. Regardless of my faults which are many. She sees my uniqueness and loves me for it. Thank you Lynda!
Every friend is like a snowflake, unique in beauty and design.
Each sparkles in a different way—some are playful, some refined.
But, unlike fragile snowflakes that fade when the sun appears,
friends grow even more beautiful with every passing year.
