My mother passed away 4 years ago on Christmas Eve. We found her at 2 A.M in our home. I was twenty.
This is the first year I have done my own tree. I did my best to recreate it exactly the way she did it for years. It's still not the same without her here and it hasn't gotten any easier... but it will have to do. Till next we meet Mom, thank you for always making sure that we always had way more than we deserved and being an amazing single parent. I miss you.

Ohh sweetie :( You did a great job-it's beautiful. She'd be so happy and proud of you. Merry Christmas!

Are the verticals ribbons ties to a specific ethnicity/country ancestry? I've never seen the style in person.

My mother was Wiccan so we never used a star or Angel. She liked the idea of the decorated tree being a "gift" to the forest spirits.

But I think that was more her own thing than a specific Wiccan/Pagan thing.

Oh, cool. Thanks for the background!
