The effect was just what I had hoped for~ a golden glow that welcomed family and friends into my home for the holidays.Materials Needed for One Tree:Large...(related: Holidays)

There is so much to do and not enough time to do it in, places to go, people to see, gifts to buy, food to prepare, and on and on and on.
