My
wife does this every year. She has amazingly
poor eyesight, just within the range of correctability. She removes her
glasses to look at the
tree. She says while she cannot see the
ornaments, the lights
blossom into little
globes of
magical fire,
suns and
stars, as if she were looking at "
God's
Christmas tree."
If I squint in a certain way and blink at the correct moments, I can almost see them too. I'll keep my OK eyesight and my fanciful wife to see those magic things for me.
