Thw Festival Of Trees

Today, for the first time ever, I visited the "Festival of Trees" at the Embassy Theater.  This display of amazingly decorated trees has been going on for several years but in the past I've always seemed to miss it.  Every year by the time I would hear advertising about the festival it would be over.  But this year, I actually got to see it, and it was ok. The theme this year was "White Christmas" and most of the trees were strung with white lights which I found kind of repetative.  There were a few that were quite beautiful and I did enjoy the experience but it wasn't the 'wow' I was expecting.  The friend I was with did serve in the Navy and toward the end of the display, which extended over two floors and a balcony, we found the Navy tree.  It was really well decorated with white ropes looped over the branches and a white sailor's hat as the tree topper and ornaments in the shape of anchors and other nautical things.  It was fun and really well done. All in all, a good experience but now I'm sitting here enjoying my old tree cluttered with ornaments made or given by various family members and friends, many connected with fun memories of times spent together through the years.  I guess I know which one is my favorite tree.
