Aunt Anna's Christmas Tree

I just received this Christmas card today (see pic above).

It reminded me of when I was a kid and my Aunt Anna's Christmas tree and where she would place it in her house (in my hometown of Rochester, NY)...how she would place the tree in the corner...near her winding stair case.

Just like it's shown on this card.

Our family (50 plus aunts and uncles and cousins and friends) would alternate celebrating the Holidays at her house, or on Erie Street (where I grew up).

I always perceive such awareness as a "sign" of some sort.

In this case, I'm perceiving this sign as a message from Aunt Anna...now in Heaven...from where she's sending me a "Merry Christmas Hello!"

May each of your Holiday memories be as bright...as this message...and this tree!
