Goodness gracious whoever would have thought that a Christmas tree could be so sublime. Delphinium is in love with the thing, and she doesn't even know what usually appears UNDER the tree! The first time she saw the naked tree just brought into the house, she chuckled at it. Then it got dressed! She just thinks the lights and the decorations and the color and sparkle are something entirely cool. I catch her just gazing up at it while she's playing on her blanket in the living room.
The first few days it was up, she was sick and teething at the same time, and more than once we "broke" a sad mood by visiting (and sometimes petting) the tree. There are even a couple of ornaments that are baby-friendly and can be taken off and loved for a few minutes. Christmas suddenly has a whole new value for jaded old me.
