Here’s Charlie our Free Range Tree!
It wasn’t intentional but the lights on our tree form a cross intersecting with the lights on our window frame. From the manger to the cross will be celebrated with gratitude to our Savior, Jesus Christ at this old house!
Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007-2015 hostage on their site. All my photos that I stored and uploaded from that site are now big ugly black and grey boxes with a message to pay big bucks to get them restored to my blog. It will take me a long time to restore thousands of posts.

I love it…everything looks so pretty and you have a lovely home.
Beautiful beautiful, so beautiful!
Blessings,
Sue
Love the “Charlie” tree, and love the way the lights intersect with your window lights to form a cross!
Love it! Merry Christmas
I love your tree! It’s so fresh and sweet!
All Christmas trees are beautiful and this one is no exception. I like that cross effect, planned by you folks or not.
I really like it…your Charlie tree!
How wonderful and warm your house is! The cross of lights is encouraging. There is a connection between the cross and the manger. Without cross no Christmas.
But today there is a promise that we will not be left alone.
Merry Christmas together with the family.

Your beautiful home is perfectly enhanced by the free range tree and the lovely and loved ornaments. Some of my best memories are of going with our kids to the woods to cut our own tree!
Very nice, Ellen. Perfectly decorated with love.

Ellen, I absolutely LOVE Charlie. 🙂 It has such a Scandinavian look!!!!
