Isn't this the sweetest

Isn't this the sweetest thing? Children decorating the Christmas trees. Christmas would be so much different without the happiness and the enthusiast of children. Every time I see artificial Christmas trees in stores I can't stop feeling the joy of Christmas, I can imagine how kids feel.
