Ice Scene

When I was a kid, one of my favourite things to do

at Christmas was set up the ice scene.

I loved placing the skaters on the pond

 (a pie tin covered in foil).

And decided where to put the skiers and sledders. 

A few pieces have been added over the years,

but most of it is pure '50's vintage, including several

bottle brush and candle Christmas trees.

There's something magical about seeing it

and realizing that I've been putting it up

every holiday season for over 55 years.

Keeping a precious Christmas memory alive.
