Playing a favorite Christmas CD always helps!
Every year, our kids get to decorate their own trees in their rooms...
Finished...
Our BIG tree usually takes a couple of days to finish. We put it up and light it in one day and we take another day to decorate it. I was pleasantly surprised when we opened the Christmas boxes to find things I had bought last year, after the holiday season on clearance, to use with decorating the tree. (I'm not sure why I was surprised because that happens every year!)
I had bought a huge roll of red mesh and a roll of gold polka dot ribbon.
When my husband and I were first married, I started collecting magnets from all of the places we traveled together. We had only collected a few magnets when I thought to start collecting ornaments instead.
Some places we visit, I find an ornament there....
Other trips, I have an ornament made later to remind us of a trip...
And every year, I purchase a family ornament with our names and year...
One by one, we will one day have a tree full of places we have visited and years we have been a family!
