The magic of a christmas tree

As I also wrote in the last blog - I love christmas trees! I remember as a little child I was absolutely sure there was something magic with the christmas tree. We always used to decorate the tree at the 23th of December. Well, at first we needed to go out in the woods and find one, and that wasnt always easy. But we always found a tree, the size and look wasnt always the best - but it was a christmas tree, and we all listened to christmas music and decorated the tree.
For many years I used to come down late evening, just to take an extra look at the christmas tree standing there, lightening up the living room, and I would also leave my best stuffed animal (for many year that was a little, white cat) under the tree. Sometimes I even left more than one there too. I was absolutely sure that the magic of the christmas tree would make my animals alive only for that single night! It was my special christmas tradition :-) I dont have many stuffed animales anymore, but I can still feel the magic of the christmas tree, and I am really happy that we got our own tree in our new house!
