It was an odd revelation for Clara Grace’s Mommy when the thought struck her that the baby had lived in a house with Christmas decorations for the greater part of her life. Could she even recall a world without red and green and a giant tree in the middle of the living room? So much of her development had taken place in the shadow of the artificial pine’s heavily laden bows.
Only weeks before, Clara Grace had dozed semi-comatose while her Mommy and Daddy decorated the entire house with bright and shiny Christmas regalia. She had taken only cursory notice of jingling ornaments or even the blinking Christmas tree in mid November.
However, when everything came down in early January she gazed with rapt attention as her Daddy unwound sparkling garland from the tree. Of particular curiosity to her was the mystery of how her Daddy went behind the tree on one side and then somehow reappeared again on completely the other side. This phenomenon happened over and over again as the garland wound lower on the tree and each time Clara Grace snapped her head to the place from where he’d popped out unexpectedly. What an incredibly vast amount of things there are for her new little mind to grasp. And how quickly Clara Grace is taking in her new world.
