Every morning, I wake to see the glow of our Christmas tree.

There was good reason, before electricity, for just having the tree up one day - I'm sure no one wanted to do the candles a second time!

What a beautiful family!
that first picture is so very peaceful! I love the glow of our tree too!! it's a wonderful time of year!!

And I love your family photo!
