(I think you have book in you, begging to come out.) <br /><br />I, not being from the south, had never thought of decorating with magnolia leaves. We have magnolia trees lining the 1-block entrance to our subdivision.... I wonder if anyone would miss any leaves if I "borrowed" them?

I live in Hawaii, and while I absolutely love Christmas here as much as anywhere, I miss having some of the Christmas "familiarities" of the mainland. For me, Christmas lights on palm trees take some getting used to! :)<br /><br />What a blessing your mother was to you, and you must have been to her. This story prompts me to call my mom and tell her I love her. Thanks for the sweet reminder.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Kristen @ Moms Sharpening Momshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03138966240497683120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-49688397319182266362009-12-09T22:40:20.073-05:002009-12-09T22:40:20.073-05:00Thanks so much for sharing that sweet story!
