Abandoned now but think of the lives that were full of up's and downs. This leftover home caught our attention on vacation this year. We had to stop and snoop. It was beautiful and captured several great images while we were there. We think often of the stories that could be told about the days that were spent living and surviving on a place like this.
Legend has it that Martin Luther began the tradition of decorating trees to celebrate Christmas. One crisp Christmas Eve, about the year 1500, he was walking through snow-covered woods and was struck by the beauty of a group of small evergreens. Their branches, dusted with snow, shimmered in the moonlight. When he got home, he set up a little fir tree indoors so he could share this story with his children. He decorated it with candles, which he lighted in honor of Christ's birth.
