a simple tree

our first Christmas tree as a married couple back in 1980.  My mother gave us this tree and some ornaments.  I believe that is a star on the tree that Shari made out of cardboard and covered with aluminum foil.

    The history makes it special and Shari’s star is the best part. She’s a star in my world.
