My Upside-Down Christmas Tree

For the past 6 years I’ve been hanging our tree upside-down from the ceiling.  And while I acknowledge that it’s not for everyone, everyone always smiles when they see it.  And isn’t that what Christmas is all about?  My family and I love the way it looks.  But mostly, we love the way it makes our holiday feel…fun, exciting and open to new adventures.

In 1972 I bought this unpainted 12 piece nativity set from a hobby ceramic shop.  I lovingly hand painted each piece choosing just the right colors.  I love the way it turned out, and it’s been a part of my Christmas season ever since.
