1. On Christmas Eve: A few days ago a friend & I looked for a small tree or large tree-sized branch to decorate inside.The Xmas trees left for sale were too large. So I used a porcelain tree with lights I've had for years. But I was not happy with only the smooth tree. Yesterday I glanced out the porch windows after shopping. Under the large pine tree in the back yard was a large branch just the size I had w...anted. It was not the same type of tree as the large pine. It's perfect! And now wears lights & a garland. I have in the past found other unexpected gifts under that tree at various seasons. I wonder if such events are the basis for "finding presents" under the tree. Or if...A visitor from overseas once pointed to the tree and told me: "That tree guards your house."

    When the tree branch was finally decorated, we stepped away and looked at it across the room and it looked like a fine lady leaning on the TV set. I had actually not intended to dress the tree as a person but that's what happened.

    Here's one of the paintings from this exhibit by Eugenia Macer-Story aka E. Macer-Story
