In following the theme of Festival of Trees
the evening festivities escorted us into surrounding tents
presenting 100 decorated Table Top Christmas Trees
in a silent auction.
These are only a few of the personally decorated and
donated beauties.
The tent was buzzing with a such flurry of bidding ,
I barely had a view of them all.
Our first Lady of Mississippi, Mrs. Deborah Bryant,
at the chime of 7 o'clock, flipped the switch
lighting up 100 majestic Live Oak trees on the grounds
of Jefferson Davis’ last home and the President's Library.
Trees that have not only witnessed history
through the past several hundred years,
but also bare witness to so many natural disasters,
and live so that we may rest under the branches
of their magesty.

The night was charged with electrical activity
in the Spirit of Christmas' past and Christmas's present!
One of the highlights of my evening
was offering to Raven the green apple
that had caught her eye at the end of the evening.
It certainly was meant for the little one
with the bright eyes and cute little nose.
I quickly grabbed it up from the table and presented it to her
before it disappeared. It had now become a part of the magic
of the night.........!
