The Forum Garden Christmas Tree

along-for-the-ride · Post by **along-for-the-ride** » Sun Nov 30, 2008 10:53 am

So we all put on our gulashes, our furry coats, our knit caps, our scarves and mittens and go out into day to find our perfect tree for the garden. We find one and carefully load it up and bring it here to the Garden.

Nomad volunteers to string the lights on the tree. He does a good job, don't ya think?

Click on the tree to turn the lights on.

Now, we must decorate the tree with ornaments. Each member brings a pic of an ornament to add to our tree. It should be an ornament that represents you or what you like. You can do what I do and google images (jpg), pick one out and save it to your computer, then post it here.

We have Christmas music playing on the CD player over there and we can smell gingerbread cookies baking in the oven.

It represents me, AFTR, and my hubby. Forever young at heart.

Thank you for your responses. You all keep 'em coming and add more ornaments.

When I was a kidlet around Christmas, there was a short black and white cartoon that was shown on TV. It was called "Suzy Snowflake". I was enchanted. I have added it for you to have a little Christmas magic moment. Turn your speakers on.

YouTube - Suzy Snowflake

So, I add these ornaments for our sweet SuzyB Snowflake.

I see many beautiful ornaments on our tree. We still have a few weeks to go before Christmas and I do not want to leave anyone out, so I do need your help. If you do not know a member well, go to their profile and read their "about me" info and go from there. I shall be returning myself to help decorate.
