Cynthia’s Christmas star

This is extremely decadent: a post just for the sake of one person. 🙂 (Everyone else is welcome to read it too, though!)

Cynthia, I thought you might like to see what ended up on top of our Christmas tree this year.

Each year, on the first weekend in December, The Husband, The Reader and The Gymnast put up the Christmas tree together. That usually means I have to search through my office for my box of Christmas decorations that I have made, and that I have received in Christmas ornament exchanges. It often takes me a little while to find them, as many of the ones I’ve made go off to the June craft show each year, as stitched models.

Each year the girls alternate between who gets to choose the thing (star or angel, usually) to go on top of the tree. Usually the one who chooses chooses a decoration that they made at school either some time in the past or that year. This year, the ornament chosen to go on top was an ornament that I received from Cynthia in an ornament swap a number of years ago. If I remember correctly, it was through the now defunct Country Bumpkin message boards.

I was in the kitchen doing foody sorts of things when they decorated the tree. When I came out and noticed what had been placed on top, I was so delighted to see what had been chosen, and I knew that Cynthia would be thrilled too!
