Nostalgia: Christmas Tree

Today is the last week for Nostalgia. I felt sad of course that this meme, where my blog has been a part of, will finally end this week. Anyways, I do believe that more windows will open after this. Anyways, the host will end it with a big blast. One entry will win as her way of thanking all the participants of Nostalgia. Today, I am sharing my Nostalgic Christmas, my childhood years without Christmas Tree.


I grew up in the province. My parents worked on a farm, and we lived a hand-to-mouth existence. Although we weren’t rich, my father and mother always made sure we had enough food on the table. However, unnecessary decorations were often out of the budget. Every Christmas, I would wish for a Christmas tree, thinking that only the wealthy could afford one. As a child, I envied my classmates who had Christmas decorations in their homes. One year, my sisters and I decided to build our own tree using branches of wood. To make a long story short, we ended up feeling happy with our creation, even though it wasn’t as glamorous as those bought in stores. We were even delighted to realize how we made it out of scraps. Today, the Christmas tree reminds me of that time. Christmas Day will always be special, with or without a tree.
