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, not by things, but by the meanings
of things. It is needful to transmit the
passwords from
generation to
generation."
(Antoine de St.-Exupéry)
