Easley Baptist Hospital Festival of Trees
Around the world….loved the globe on top of the tree!
Every year during Christmas Season the girls and I try to swing by our local Easley Baptist Hospital to look at the Festival of Trees. They have the main hall packed with a variety of trees. The trees are sponsored by local businesses and people in the Easley community. Some of the trees are decorated by the same businesses while others are decorated by somebody else. It is a neat way to get in the Holiday spirit, see some beautiful trees, and have a fun adventure with your kids. The amount of trees is not too massive so it is easy get through the whole section in 20 to 40 minutes. The girls look forward to it every year.
Standing in front of the tree their school decorated!
SeaLevel Systems sponsored the tree that the Crosswell Art Students decorated!
Frosty the Snowman, simple yet beautifully done!
Baby Jesus in a manger!
The “I Promise….” Tree, neat concept. You could write on a card something you promise to do in 2015 and hang it up on the tree.
Some of the “I Promise” cards hanging on the tree.
Brina made an I Promise card too!

Book: “The Christmas Story” by Jane Werner
One of the fun parts of getting down all the Christmas items from the attic is pulling out all the books to read throughout the Christmas Season. When the girls were little we would read about the First Christmas from the Bible then we would read The Christmas Story by Jane Werner. Although the girls would sit quietly while reading the Bible this book made the story visually come to life for them.
Even though they are probably old enough now to just read from the Bible they still request that we read this book on Christmas day. If you have little ones and want a good book to read on Christmas Day you can find it online or at a local bookstore for under $4 (or at a garage sale like I did many years ago) or rent it from your local library. It is great opportunity for you to read with your child(ren) and to share the good news of Christmas!
