Our tree this year is so beautiful!It's sad th
at it isn't a live tree, the smell of a pine tree on Christmas morning is something that always reminds me of my childhood.After Christmas last year I went all over Newcastle looking for a particular tree and I finally found it at Mount Hutton (I HATE going there) Our beautiful tree finally came out of the box last weekend, and as beautiful as it looked, we all stood back a bit shocked at how big it is, it touches the ceiling, Allira's first comment was "where's
the star going to go?"
I have accumulated so much to decorate the whole house with, the girls have banned me from buying more Santas... pish tosh nasty children :P
We decorate the tree in red and gold and 5 different strands of lights, there are home made decorations, and stuff the girls made when they were in pre-school, pink Christmas balls from when the girls were born and sweet little santas that were knitted by my ex mother in-law who has now passed on, stars, witches hats and brooms (they're really Harry Potter decorations that I bought in NY a while ago) and beautiful glass decorations that I had engraved.
There's lot of sparkly things!
We have a family tradition when we start to decorate...we have plates of snacks, we put Christmas music on, we sing, we laugh, we have fun!
And with a little bit of bending, the Star sits beautifully on top of the tree
I love this time of year.... This will be our best Christmas in years and I love that we can make it last a month

How gorgeous is your tree!!!!!!!
It's sad: I put up the tree by myself. I have most of the time over the past few years. The kids, especially the boys, just aren't interested in it.
Just the presents...
*sigh*
Tree looks great :) Though, I have to say that it was not the most exciting 3 hours of my life :p But still enjoyed it ;)
Mr. NY
Thanks G :)
Oh Cyndy :( that would break my heart and my kids would get diddly squat for Christmas, I'm mean like that.
