Christmas at Our House
A
​family's
​collection
of  Christmas
​ornaments ​is a
​ life suspended in time.
​Each branch bears witness

to some
obscure passage in our
​lives, each ornament announcing a
​silent history that
only we can hear.  
​"We live, n
ot by things, but by ​the meanings
​of things. It is ​needful t
o transmit the
passwords from
​generation ​to
​generation."



​(Antoine de St.-Exupéry)
