Aurora and I put up the Christmas Tree and I spread some holiday cheer around the rest of the house while Jaymes put the lights up outside.
Our plan is to add a little to our outdoor decorations every year. This year we focused on white lights all around the house. We'd also like to trace the windows, bushes and roof lines.
We have an artificial tree. I've always had one my whole life, I'm not sure I could even figure out what to do with a real tree.
Although, one year when we lived in Tennessee, we went out into the woods and chopped down our own tree. My Dad picked out a 20 foot or more tree and then cut off the top. We put it up in our living room and within days all of the needles turned orange. So, that was strange enough, but then they all fell off. Are you supposed to water Christmas Trees?
There are a few very meaningful ornaments on our tree. I hope to someday have a tree full of homemade ornaments and ones we've handpicked instead of a bunch of random bulbs.
I also decorated our china shelf in the dining room (if you can call it china, or a dining room).
And hung some stockings, but since we don't have a fireplace I hung them by the bookcase with care.
Joy to the World!
