A lovely thing happened to me today. My dear friend 'Earthmother' and her little girl, 'Happy Girl' came to visit. They brought presents which is always cool, and these were presents for our Christmas tree.
I am very fond of our Christmas tree. It sits in the middle of our lounge/dining room, and this amuses me because it reminds me of the tree in the middle of one of the character's houses in the Ring Cycle. It has a sword stuck in it, which of course is important for the plot. But it has long amused me that someone would have a tree in the middle of their lounge room. And now we do.
I like our tree because I think it is beautiful. And it is so cool to be able to have a beautiful thing in your house that serves no purpose other than to be beautiful. Functional is usually top priority, and for good reason, but beautiful just for its own sake - that's cool!
And what was particularly cool about my visitors (who drove a long way & even coped with my cold and my messy house) was that Earthmother gave me ornaments for Christmas, and they sparkle. So now there are more sparkly things on the tree.
This is a good thing in my day. A lovely friend, her adorable little girl and some decorations for Christmas.
