on top of the world

we drove out to the foothills and looked at the full moon tonight.

i know it wasn't as big a deal as all the chain letters made it out to be, but we loved it. it was huge and white and the air was clear and cold. it was even better than all the christmas lights we saw on the drive out, and you know how much i love christmas lights. well, maybe you don't but trust me, i love them. even icicle lights.

when we got home, i finally put the finishing touches on the tree. my grandmother gave me the angel that sits atop the tree every year. she is from germany and has the most beautiful and delicate wax head. i can't believe she hasn't melted over the years but i am very careful about where i keep her.

i can't explain how much i adore i seeing this angel on my tree. it brings back all the memories of my grandmother and childhood christmases. she is almost love incarnate.

angels we have seen on high, claire
