Description
There's a very sweet story behind this not so very good foto. I was a friend's house last weekend and of course, her tree was all lit up and decorated. I noticed that the tree top ornament was slightly askew and went up to get a closer look. Turns out her 5 year old granddaughter decorated the tree and just HAD to have this tree topper. Her 6'3" uncle Mikey held her up so she could put it on. They left it just as she placed it and I think it's charming and most wonderful. If you look closely, you see why it's even more charming--it's NOT your usual fancy, gorgeous ornament, but it's something very important to her. And THAT is the spirit of Christmas!!

Appears to be a paper crown...just can't tell from where:) That is allowing a family memory to be created. Superb. Children need to feel a part of all the festivities. And I like your available light photo. Very cool.

Aww, her Burger King crown! King of trees! Yes, it's all for the magic of children, isn't it?

Precious! We have the tradition that Werner always puts the Angel on top of the Christmas tree - probably because of his almost 7ft height! This year however, he picked Kayla up and for the first time she put the Angel up! Wonderful memories - just like this little girl! :)

Wonderful presentation, and certainly a beautiful story associated with it! There is nothing more special than allowing a child to feel a sense of significance and having the ability to express the self in creative and artistic ways; you can always tell so much from children, if only we listen (and watch) :) Definitely beautiful and inspiring!

This is what Christmas is all about...well...that and baked carp that's been swimming in your bathtub over night only to be slaughtered on Christmas morning by a grumpy guy who wants nothing more than to do something other than kill the carp that the kids have grown attached too. Ugh...I spent too much time in the Czech Republic, eating Christmas Carp. But this picture feels the same way, only there Pavl isn't singing in Czech (and sounding strangely angelic for all of his atheistic eccentricities. He has perfect pitch.) I love this picture because it actually reminds me of Prague, washing windows with Pavl so that Baby Jesus would come and leave a gift. He left beer and a suspiciously Czech pack of cigarettes in my shoe. I think Pavl and Baby Jesus have a lot in common.) What I love about this photograph, aside from its emotional impact, is the fact that it makes me remember how touching a pack of cigarettes left in my shoe actually is! Thank you for making me recall that! And thank you for making me think, once again, about Pavl! It's the little things that make Christmas...including a cheap, cardboard crown!

That is the spirit of Christmas and the birth of a tradition. Someone has to make sure that this crown will be available next Christmas. I would even put a date inside of it. Special magical capture. Dana
