Our apartment was about 450 square feet and so having a
Christmas tree proved to be a challenge.
We basically had two rooms, the living room and our bedroom. William slept in a closet and the kitchen was
like a hallway. In the living room we
had a card table where we ate, a love seat, a little chair for William, and a
TV. There was not much floor space left
for a Christmas tree.
There was however, lots of wall space. So, we came up with this idea. William loved decorating it and he did not
seem to know the difference between this Christmas tree and a real 3
dimensional Christmas tree. It was all
the same to him. All he knew is that he
got to “hang” ornaments.
And, if I may be permitted to add a side note,
this attitude of William’s was always a blessing and encouragement to us. He was happy and thankful all year long. He could have cared less about where he was
sleeping and how small everything was and what he didn’t have. He just enjoyed what he had. Often I would look at him and ask the Lord to
work in me the heart of child.
