The first thing that my mom ever sat me down and taught me was how to decorate a Christmas tree.She went through, step by step, and told me how to add the lights without showing too much of the wire, and how to make sure that the tree was evenly lit. She spread out all of the ornaments on the coffee table, and we chose where each one would go. Some were large, and needed alot of space to hang. Some looked best hung in front or behind a light bulb. And of course, the smallest and lightest ones go on top. Together we stepped back from the tree to see if there were any blank spots in need of an ornament, a candle, or some ribbon. Decorating the tree was a process, a project, and when we were done I was so proud of our creation, and felt so lucky that she trusted me with our beautiful family tree.
I miss you Mama BaCon. Thanks for all of the wonderful memories, and for teaching me about the important things in life.
I miss you too, baby! Decorating the Christmas tree just isn't the same without you. I can't wait 'til we see you at New Year's. I love you bunches. You are special. Give Mr. Luz and Foxy Lady a hug and kiss for me.
