[blindkid] Holiday Decorating Blind

[trising at sbcglobal.net]

I love Frasier trees. This is what my parents get, and we all go as a family 
to cut it down the day after Thanksgiving. I have to have an artificial 
though, as the apartment complex will not allow real trees. I love to smell 
the pine smell of the Frasier and to feel the soft needles. Mom has always 
let me help put ornaments on, but she is always giving sighted instructions. 
She does not want two of the same color near each other or ornaments too 
close together. Someone helps us put up our tree and string the lights. 
Then, we do our own ornaments. I would love to put up a tree with other 
blind adults to see how they do it completely independently.
