A childhood belief about fairies

When I was about 8 or 9 I thought these three angel decorations on our Christmas tree were real. One was a large treetop, one was an ornament, and one was a very small baby angel ornament. The three of them were sisters and they always needed to stay close to eachother, so I put the middle angel girl and the baby angel girl up by the top of the tree so they wouldn't wander away from their older sister. That started a tradition, and I would always put the three angel sisters close to eachother. And then last year the oldest sister, the treetop, got thrown away because the two white Christmas lights she held stopped working. I was sad because the other two angels had lost their older sister. But they got over it. I still put the two angel sisters together, because even though they're older than they used to be they still like to stay close together.
