Thank you for educating uson something we ourselves should know. <br />How lovely the trees must have been when lit up with candles. A dear friend and I were just speaking on that subject and came to the conclusion that those who put up trees on Christmas eve may do so due to the tradition of using candles. You couldn't put it up too soon. <br />I so enjoy sitting and relaxing around the Christmas tree with all other lights out, quite beautiful. <br />Always a joy visiting with you and seeing your beauty. <br /><br />May the New Year bring you joy and peace, dear lady~Debbie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661813843716269751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8780738657147797732.post-22061450702379236982016-12-30T19:54:21.166+01:002016-12-30T19:54:21.166+01:00Wow!
