Jane’s Random Musings on Life

I always love Christmas Tree.

Although I am not a Christian, I always look forward to Christmas Day every year since I was young. I still remember when we were young, there was a pine tree in our garden which we would decorate it every Christmas. My mom would teach us to make those little decorations ourselves. We made small present decors using cardboards, wrapping papers and ribbons; we would also make pine nuts by sticking small paper cones together, and they all looked just as nice as those sold in the departmental store. Oh and we would put strands of cotton around the tree to give it a ’snowy’ finish. Then me and my sis would pray that it won’t rain the following days because the tree was not shaded!

There were a few years when my mom would organize a party on the eve of Christmas. All my cousin brothers and sisters would come with a present nicely wrapped and put them all under the Christmas Tree. Of course, the highlight of the night for us would be the gift exchange time! We would rush to the tree to grab a present that was most appealing to us (which always mean the bigger ones haha) and tore open the wrapper in no time. I can’t remember what I got, but they’re mostly toy sets or stationeries because these are the unisex presents.

As we grew, the tree was taller and taller each year. It had grown so tall that in the end my dad had to climb up a ladder to help us put up the decorations. It was the most beautiful Christmas Tree that I have ever seen.

Think I should start decorating Christmas Tree this year for my own house.
