Christmas Time

We got our Christmas tree up last weekend.  I have really enjoyed having it up all week so far and will continue to enjoy it this month.  It's already December 1st--wow!

My Christmas tree is an artificial pre-lit tree with white lights on it.  Nothing fancy.  It's a hand-me-down tree from my oldest brother.  It has worked very well for us.  It is a "Memory Tree", meaning that the ornaments are mostly all just ones we have collected over the years and growing up, and from places we have been on vacation, etc.  Ones that have special meaning to us.  For this reason I love decorating the tree because I get to unwrap all my ornaments out of the box and remember each and every reason that I have them, and where we got them, or who gave them to us, etc.  It is so fun!
