Our Christmas Trees

We had every intention of putting

up our 13 year old artificial

 green tree this year.

We grabbed that duct taped 

box from the top shelf in the storage 

room and dragged it out to

the rec room.

We pulled and bent and twisted

 those poor, loose limbs

on that tree, spreading them as best we could.

"Wouldn't a white tree be fun?"

That's all she had to say to convince me!

She knows me well, that girl of ours,

"ummmm YEAH!"

I have always loved the 

look of a white tree, when
the lights are off and the tree is
 plugged in, it just... glows. 
The recroom is a blue/grey and
 grey and it works perfectly
together.  Just ignore the fact
that we need to complete the
trim work :)

So thats our recroom tree,
my first white tree.

On our main floor,in the living room,
our Christmas tree is very traditional.

A pre-light artifical tree.

And I love it.

I will admit however, that some of the 

lights have stopped working

so there is 2 extra strands of lights 

strategically woven through.

But, it fits perfectly in any corner,

or against a wall or just about

 anywhere it needs to go.

All of our homes have been on the 

smaller scale and it has never taken

 over the floor space.

Under the tree, I love to put

our Christmas stories, games,

 DVD's and our gifts as

they get wrapped.

Yes, I know its not about the tree, 

the Santas, the gifts or  any 'stuff'.

I believe in the magic of this season,

and the hope a New Year brings,

I am wishing you the same.
