The Christmas Tree

 Time for Meeting the Bar in the dVerse Pub ~ Laura invites us to create an Etheree in the shape of a Christmas Tree!

Our Deck ~ Winter 2019 


ONE 
BRIGHT MORN
AXE IN HAND
A FATHER LEADS
HIS SIX YOUNG CHILDREN
THROUGH A SNOW-CLAD FOREST
LAUGHTER FILLS THE FROSTY AIR
AS MITTENS POINT TO PERFECT PINES
TOGETHER THEY CHOOSE A PROUD SPRUCE TREE
ITS GREEN BOUGHS A PROMISE OF JOYS TO COME
FACES
AGLOW

    Love your Christmas tree and the memory of walking through the snow-clad forest. We're off to get our tree this morning but the forest won't be snow-clad.

    "Faces aglow" - that sums it up! What a lot of faces around the table that night..."

    A home doesn't have the Christmas feel unless it has a Christmas tree

    Such an effective image of that strong cultural activity. It must be a very bonding thing for a family to do together.
