The earth has spun around the sun
another year, carrying us all reliably through the winter solstice
place on its orbit, caring not a jot about the tumult of the
inhabitants on its surface: the holidays arrive. We have lived
another year, such a good thing, certainly another year wiser and why
not happier too, yes, let it be. For the fourth year our Southwest
Christmas Tree has traveled its short orbit from Arizona room to
living room, and once again is festooned with many handmade
ornaments, some of which are displayed in the Southwest Christmas Tree from 2015.
Special this year is the lovely needlepoint ornament made by my
lovely wife and pictured close up here:
Another ornament made of Baltic birch and using a stock scroll saw pattern was being considered as an item for our Etsy shop, but never made it into production...perhaps another year, angel with bugle:
Happy Holidays to all, and as my fellow Columbian said it, "to all a good night!"
