Time to Trim the Tree

Trimming the tree is a cherished ritual for our family that brings a sense of festive anticipation and decorative joy around the holiday season and we wanted to share our 2023 tree here. For the past couple of years, we’ve chosen our Christmas tree from the local farm stand Serene Green in Sag Harbor. It’s a festive holiday errand and a heartwarming experience that embraces the charm of tradition and community. Amidst the rustic beauty of Serene Green, you stroll through rows of fragrant evergreens, their branches laden with the promise of holiday cheer. The air is filled with the crisp scent of pine, and the friendly atmosphere adds to the joy of the occasion. Each tree tells a story, waiting to become the centerpiece of holiday celebrations. With an array of shapes and sizes, patrons carefully select the perfect tree to bring home, fostering a connection between the local community and the spirit of the season. It's not just about finding a tree; it's about creating cherished memories and supporting a local business that adds a touch of serenity and greenery to the holiday festivities in Sag Harbor.

Through out the years we’ve collected ornaments that represent life's milestones and our travel adventures that transforms our Christmas tree into a captivating tapestry of memories. Each ornament serves as a tiny, tangible token of significant moments and far-flung adventures. Whether it's a delicate Fortnum & Mason afternoon tea ornament marking a memorable journey to London, a glass photo of our wedding day, or a a football player with our son’s jersey number, the tree becomes a chronological narrative of life's journey. As the twinkling lights illuminate these cherished ornaments, they not only add a personalized touch to the holiday decor but also evoke a sense of nostalgia, prompting reflections on the richness of experiences and the passage of time. The act of adorning the tree with these mementos becomes an annual tradition, weaving a visual story of the unique and diverse tapestry of a well-lived life.
