Oh Tannenbaum 2019 #WordlessWednesday

Before I begin, I wanted to thank everyone who commented on my blog post yesterday about the ordinary nature of hate and how a local synagogue has had to lock its doors to those wanting to visit a Hanukkah museum on their premises, so they can control entry.

Your messages of support mean a lot to me and my readers.

How can I repay you?  How about with some pictures of beauty?

For years, the Tioga County (New York) Historical Society has featured an annual Christmas Tree auction they call Oh Tannenbaum.  The exhibit is free to the public.  You can bid on whichever tree (normally, if you win, you just get the decorations, so the museum can reuse the tree) you like.  Proceeds go to charity.

This year's program ended on December 14:  here are some highlights.
Imagine several rooms full of trees.
Some are patriotic.
Some are whimsical.
Some are wreaths.

Some have beautiful toppers.
And some are a bit unusual.

But all express the beauty of the season.

    Life if often sad these days with people not respecting others and the property of others. Respect is really missing in society and that causes most of the problems we have to deal with. Lovely Christmas trees.
