If you don’t understand why someone puts their tree up early… sit with a woman.
Sit with a college girl who just moved out & needs that comfort of what was home.
Sit with a newly wed excited to make her home.
Sit with a first time mama who see excitement for the future.
Sit with a second, third, fourth, time mama who see the twinkling magic in her children’s eyes.
Sit with a mama who’s slowly losing her nest as her babies begin to move out & she needs that familiarity.
Sit with a mama who has an empty nest & who’s excited for the kids & grandkids to soon fill her home running around that very tree.
Sit with an elderly mama who as she stares into that tree in her final years, she is flooded with sweet precious memories of smiles & laughter from her family and friends.
Every year I see the debate of “when’s the right time to put up your Christmas tree”
The right time is when YOU want to. If it brings you joy then do it!
As I sit here this morning staring into my twinkling tree, my mama heart is happy. There’s a peacefulness in the glow. It’s brought joy.
