(I'm wondering if someone actually buys the gems in these displays.)<br /><br />My own childhood tree memories take me back to my brothers and myself going along in the car with Daddy to the Christmas tree stand sponsored by the local volunteer firemen, as a fundraising project. The tree would come home with us in the car and would spend a certain number of days in a bucket on our back patio area. <br />Tradition required that the tree not be brought indoors and decorated until Christmas Eve. Usually, it was Daddy and me that handled all this decorating, with Mom helping with some final adjustments.<br />(I must ask my brothers where they were during these decorating occasions.)<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-33906675434397813252015-12-13T18:27:11.448-08:002015-12-13T18:27:11.448-08:00Jolanda, I'm so glad you've been enjoying ...Jolanda, I'm so glad you've been enjoying my city views, and do wish that you will be able to see them for yourself before too long.<br /><br />(Of course, you know how much I appreciate your posts!) xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-54754977348596516852015-12-13T07:16:48.506-08:002015-12-13T07:16:48.506-08:00So much pleasanter to stroll about admiring Christ...So much pleasanter to stroll about admiring Christmas windows with you from the uncanny warmth of our UK winter too. But just a little harder somehow to believe it is Christmas. I think I like the Tiffany window the best. My mother decorated our Christmas tree (a fake silver tinsel one) with turquoise and silver baubles one year.

I do know of Mr Finch's work, and had not realized that he'd already had a show at the Kasher Gallery, and that a new pop up exhibit opened today. Ironic that a friend and I were at another Chelsea gallery today to see a Morandi exhibit, and could have popped over to 26th Street.
