Nanny Chandler’s Treetop

By Lisa Chandler, 2 January, 2026

We just “put Christmas away” for another year. It is always a relief. This time I said a special thank you to Nanny Chandler (via her treetop, that I am grateful to gave). She was a formidable, insistent, generous woman, and she taught me a lot.

Peter and L. have a fondness for our disco light treetop too. Peter especially seems fascinated that a little upside down cup inside the dome spins when heated slightly by the bulb. It is a sight to see. It makes us feel like the spirit of Nanny comes to visit us each Christmas.
