The Laughing Wolf

The Wolf Tree

Have been busy, but thought I would share a couple of pictures of my Christmas Tree. Yes, that is a wolf at the top. The puppet ended up on there a few years ago, when we could not find a topper that we liked. I don’t think the idea of impaling an angel is right and proper (or safe), and the selection of non-angelic toppers was not good. The puppet got suggested as a joke, which we decided was not a bad joke when he went up.

The ornaments are a mix of old and new. The nice thing this year was getting to all the old family decorations, and adding the ones I truly loved to the mix. The snowflakes are all hand-done by a family friend and given as gifts over the years. There are stories for several of the decorations, and one day I have got to write them down.

My own taste runs to some of the Victorian ornaments, and I like to get at least one new one each year. There is a scholarship event in town each year that brings a number of dealers in, a couple of whom carry wonderful ornaments, so I do my shopping there so that it also goes towards grade-school scholarships for those that need it.

Not a bad tree, in my opinion. I hope to make it an even better one next year.
