Christmas is alive and well here in Asheville, NC, at least at my Mom's house and at her friend Barbara's house. We made our way over to Barbara's after lunch out and a new shoe shopping spree at Kohl's.
Barbara and her husband Dennis own a home that was built for William Jennings Bryan in 1917 and it is on the National Register of Historic Places. Now, that in itself is very cool but Barbara also keeps her home decorated for Christmas 365 days a year, something she has been doing for the last 10-12 years. The number of trees was countless and each one had a theme, including 7 trees in here living room, one for each Grandchild.
This is my favorite. It's the upside down tree. It sits where the family tree used to be. She used to cut a fresh tree down (from a farm in Madison County) and use the big lights and heavy ornaments, but when kids and grandkids came into the picture she decided to turn it upside down and give it a new theme and it became artificial.
I love the fact that my daughter took over 100 photos in the house today and I only edited a few. More to come as time permits.
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
