Etta opened the box of decorations and was swept into yesterday. Emma watched, taking pleasure in their yearly visit with the decorations they had known since they were children. Out of the box and onto the tree went doves made of spun glass, angels with wings of gauze, ropes of glass beads, a dozen little tin trumpets, stars of gold, and glass bells with glass clappers, a hand-carved Santa Claus and all eight reindeer.
