For some families, a yearly tradition is to festoon their tree with ornaments at Christmas. There is something quite delightful about a tree adorned with ornaments. Over my life, I have seen a lot of Christmas trees beautifully decorated. Some have twinkling lights and unique ornaments, and others, well, they could use a little work. What’s essential, of course, is the tree. A good tree is full (no big holes!), not too big or small, good color, etc. The ornaments are the extras — not necessarily essential, but they help make the tree come alive.
