Silver and white covers the Christmas tree in Gail Burns-Grant’s family room. Her sister, who also made the wreath on the front door, decorated the tree for her with a nod to simplicity and snow, which Burns-Grant said she enjoys bringing into her home even though actual snow is scarce at her Georgia home.
