……wie treu sind Deine Blaetter
Du gruenst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit – nein auch im Winter,wenn es schneit

Tradition is good – but starting one is fulfilling
all naturals and home -made stars
The making of a German Christmas Tree

husband and son
beautiful – has 2 kinks in its trunk 
hardly needs any decorations —- but I have to have the birds on that tree

and the old Eaton’s upright electric candles from ca the 1960″s
andof course the old cut glass Christmas balls
without Lametta( tinsels) no way
tinsels

Just one more show
It is Christmas and the world should slow down for a celebration. This time belongs to the family, friends and your partner no matter what your believe is, you need to take a breather and unwind.
For nearly 55 years this is our Christmas Tree look . It all started in a small Mining town in Northern B.C.
one more look how it fits in our house

and since I am a painter I can not resist to ad a few more pictures

Winter Morning———————————–Winter Berries

Winter in my Garden
Merry Christmas to all and every one




Glad we get to see your tree, too! I love your birds, and of course the blown glass ornament – close to my heart they are
Your vases of fresh greens with your beautiful handcrafted straw stars are perfect. LOVE that picture of Konrad & George – now that looks like Christmas!
