Since this is <strong>My</strong> <strong>Passion</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>’s Christmas <strong>issue</strong> and this is our main focus, we wanted a cover page<br />
that would be outstanding and represent the Holiday Season. One of the staff members told us about his<br />
neighbor who decorated her home with beautiful trees and lights. After he told us all about her decorations,<br />
I knew that I had to meet her. I made an appointment, and off I went!<br />
I met the most gracious woman that I have ever met. Her name is Dawn McGee. We became friends right<br />
away. I could not help but love her. She invited me into her home and told me about her passion for her<br />
Christmas trees, Christmas lights, and all of her decorations.<br />
She had been decorating her home with one tree or more in each room of her house (even her bathrooms<br />
and hallways) for 25 years. “Of course,” she said, “I didn’t start off with this many trees. I think I have<br />
about 14 or 15 now. I just started off with a few and everything just grew.”<br />
She says that she decorates for herself, for her family, and for the guest that frequent her home during the<br />
Christmas holidays. She said, “I know what the real meaning of Christmas is all about……our dear Savior’s<br />
birth. But, when I am sitting looking at all of my lights, I think about Jesus being the light of the world<br />
and that He really loves me. When He came into this world, His light penetrated the darkness. That<br />
gives me more pleasure than anything else. You see, Jesus is the center of my life.”<br />
She has a name for every tree that she has in her home. Let me just give you the names: Radiant<br />
Red Gallant Gold, Chocolate Delight, The Grinch, Winter’s Palace, Aquamarine, Department 56, Down<br />
Memory Lane, Pretty in Pink, Gingerbread Dreams, Radko Mania, Deep in the Jungle, The Color Purple,<br />
Meadowland Memories, Frosty The Snowman, O Holy Night, and Old Fashion.<br />
Not only does she decorate the inside of her home, but the outside as well.<br />
By allowing <strong>My</strong> <strong>Passion</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> to publish the pictures of some of her trees, she is allowing us to feel the<br />
real meaning of Christmas through her eyes…..He is the Reason for the Season!
