"Unpacking the ornaments is like opening a box of memories.  Many of the decorations bring to mind a special time or place or person.  The tree will soon be laden with ornaments collected over the years, each with its own story to tell.  When we have finished decorating, the shining evergreen creates a magic that we are never too old to enjoy."
