I carefully placed ornaments in their 21 packaging. pausing every few minutes to 22 favorite. "Hey. little Santa!" I 23 the Santa from my childhood. "Thanks for being my friend for almost fifiy years." He was a little ragged but still gives me a flood of wonderful memories.
" 24 next year, my dear friend."
There was a collection of handmade ones. My children made in their first years of school. More than twenty years ago. Made by tiny hands, they are far from 25 n design. but every year they go on my memory tree-memories of young giggles on Christmas moming and smiling face when they handed them to me when I came home from work. "Look what we made, Daddy!" "Oh! So beautiful. Let's find special spots on the 26 for them." Every year since, they are 27 .
A few hours after I started, the 28 boxes were back in the garage. the room was cleaned and I sat 29 at an empty comer. It took me two days of work to assemble and decorate my tree, but only a few hours to take it 30 .
Like the tree. marriage and friendships take a long time to assemble and decorate with memories, but can be 31 quickly. All it takes is an unkind word or a(n) 32 act.
Evcry year I have to 33 my tree. but not my marriage or friendships. They get to glow in the corner of my life for as long as l live. When I held the Santa. a flood of wonderful memories

So, take great care of your friendships and your marriage and 35 them in that special spot in the comer of your heart and admire their glow.
