And putting up that Christmas tree, whether it be the one from the woods or the artificial one from mall.

#MAGICAL CHRISTMAS TREE VALERIE 9S TV#

You sense that you are about to enter a unique time of the year when the adults become even busier than usual, with the scurrying about to do extraordinary things like cleaning up the house, putting up decorations, writing cards and letters to friends and relatives, buying presents and all kinds of gifts, preparing or buying special foods or watching TV specials and movies (even the commercials!), listening to holiday music or hosting a holiday get-together. But you know that whatever it is, it is something very special. When that time of year comes around again, I still get that warm feeling that artists have always tried to capture on canvas and process through the ubiquitous greeting card it is unexplainable and inexpressible, yet deeply felt nonetheless.įor a child, that feeling might be that of security, knowing that you are at home, surrounded by people who love you or it can be that sense of expectation that something wonderful is about to happen but you can’t quite say what it is or understand it. For a child, a Christmas tree is a promise.įor someone who has gotten the chance to live through a little more than a half-century of seeing Christmas trees come to light-and life-before my very eyes, it does not seem possible that a decorated Christmas tree has still the same effect as it did when I was a youngster, but it always does. But to a child, a Christmas tree is much more than the accumulation of decorations and lights, tinsel and garland. A beautifully decorated and brightly lit tree can do wonders for a child’s spirit, not to mention an adult’s-especially after spending hours upon hours getting it just right, with arranging and re-re-rearranging the assorted ornaments and lighting to achieve just the right effect to everyone’s eventual delight. There is something about Christmas trees that captures the imagination of a child.
