I LOVE Christmas!

Every year, I can't wait to decorate my tree. Sometimes I even decorate it before Thanksgiving. I know, I know, that is pretty early. But I love it. Usually, I will wait till at least the day after Thanksgiving. I love that we have a full size tree. Our first Christmas, we used this really skinny tall tree of my mom's. The branches started about 2 1/2 feet off the ground, so it looked really funny when we put our presents under it. Also, the only ornaments we owned were my collectibles from my parents. It was a pretty sad tree. The day after Christmas, we went to Target and found a 6 1/2 foot tree and lots of decorations for really cheap, so the next year was really pretty. Then, this last year, I bought a few more things and I loved my tree. Here is a picture of last years tree.

I also love Christmas. I love to decorate the tree, especially because it is a tradition in my house to get a new ornament every year so I have quite a collection that bring back so many memories. My mom is continuing the tradtion and has started getting my kids (weird to say) ornaments as well. Yippy for Christmas!

Your tree was really pretty, can't wait to see what you come up with for Festival this year! And I'm sure your own tree will be gorgeous as well.
