Decorating our family Christmas tree...
Decorating our family Christmas tree is becoming more and more a religious celebration. Each year we get out the boxes of decorations and put them on their special places on the tree. Like a Jewish family at Passover we retell the stories. "This is the bulb Fulton's gave us in 1972. Do you remember how they made a different Christmas decoration each year? They were such a nice family. I miss them since we moved."
"Let me put the lights on. I always put the lights on," says the eldest, now a public school teacher, about a responsibility she has held since the age of six.
