the tree

This year I decided to be true to the idea of less is more.  We all talk about it.  However, how many are true to the concept?  So, I brought home a tree and dressed it up with beautiful lights, white lights, nothing more.  The tree sits in one of our rooms and adorns the living space with a tranquil spirit.  Surprisingly enough my children love it and are drawn to its peaceful stillness.  The tree is regal, beautiful, elegant and stoic.  It is peaceful and easy to look at. It offers the perfect balance between nature and decoration.  It fills the room with harmony and a still reminder.  A simple reminder that the true spirit of Christmas is about love,  simple.
