    First time I see the Christmas tree! How so? Well, in many cases there are so many decorations, that is not possible to tree itself! Our habit is to show the tree also that people can admire its beauty! Yours was gorgeous!

  5. You can see I like to bake as well as decorate! We scour the cities and villages on our vacations because we collect Christmas ornaments. One or two from each place. It’s a good thing to collect because they don’t take up too much room in the suitcases. I used to bring back heavy books!!!!! !What was I thinking? Well, I was younger, I guess, and it seemed like a good idea at the time! The tree keeps getting bigger and bigger! This year I had two! I even found an ornament in Porvoo!
