Deck the Halls

2009, January 6, Tuesday

Its time to deck the halls with lots of holly fa..la...la..la..la..
Here is a shot of Ivan decorating the Christmas tree with an ornament that he specially chose and bought from Causeway Point.

Every year we get Ivan to join all of us, when we decorate the house and tree for Christmas, hoping that one day he too would understand the meaning of Christmas. This year unlike the previous ones, I got the children to follow as we got the decorations. It costs so much more than when I buy them myslef. Ivan he actually handpicked a couple of decoration pieces on his own.
The boys really enjoyed decorating the tree. It was fun and heartwarming watching them do up the tree, as we listen to Christmas Carols and talk about the journey an the birth of Jesus. We also talked about the meaning of the Christmas tree and the gifts it brings. Not forgetting the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ.
After the tree was done, we turned off the lights and turned on the Christmas tree lights to enjoy the sight and simply spend the night cuddled up watching the decorated tree.
