Two Gifts


We received an early Christmas present. Open immediately ~ use now. The box was flat but huge. On removing the wrapping paper the words Pottery Barn appeared - ooh! this is going to be something really nice. Sliding out the cardboard took four hands ~ and there it was, a pretty metal tree card holder which fits perfectly on this wall.
Our treasured friends are more than generous with their gifts. Their enclosed Christmas card is the most beautiful Madonna and Child I've seen. Later I'll add more cards but for now I love to look at just these two gifts........................ simple, pure, and very beautiful.
