Little fingers
leave a trail
made of paper
bent and frail;
older hands preserve
the mystery
of taped and crayoned
family history.

Your words beautifully convey the essence of family and make me feel Christmassy.

Thank you, Susan! That’s the absolute nicest thing I could read — feeling Christmassy is so elusive this year!

So true. I still have folders of all the paper crafts my daughter and granddaughter created. 🙂 Happy day before Christmas Eve. Be sure to enjoy a sweet treat. 🙂

And the same to you, Judy — happy day before Christmas Eve! A sweet treat is absolutely on my agenda, and, I trust, on yours too. It’s part of the Christmas spirit, yes? Along with all those delicate paper creations. There’s a lifetime in that folder of paper crafts you keep, and I suspect that your wizardry as seamstress shows up in their artwork. Wonderful keepsakes.

We have a few of those fragile paper holiday creations from several generations on display as well. They are treasures!

Oh, they are indeed! Christmas decor is a real museum!
