For our family this Christmas is special….for a couple of reasons.
One - is that it’s the first Christmas in our new home!
We moved here 4 months ago and although our home is new and the mantel where our stockings hang is different this holiday…
our Red and White Christmas tree will be the same,
the same red and white ornaments, the same icicles, Santas and nutcrackers…
the same tradition…
….of a red and white Christmas tree.
Oh sure there are Christmas trees decorated in blue, silver, gold and green…
but for us it’s a traditional red and white tree that reminds us of years past.
Because the best reason this Christmas will be special is solely because this will be the first Christmas in a long time where our military family will spend quality time together and just be together as one….
….together as one, beside our Red and White Christmas tree!
Hope you enjoy these pictures!:
This ornament is a special memory of our time in Virginia and our American friends!:
