Christmas Trees & Blog Hop

I know people who have already put their Christmas trees in the 1st week of Nov...I love Christmas probably more than some kids even but we all have our traditions & ours is putting 2 Christmas trees up the weekend after Thanksgiving..We like to enjoy the beauty of the season as long as possible so I understand the people that put them up asap after Halloween.

I thought I would give you a peek inside our Family room to show you 1 of our trees & how we decorate it. (With Old fashion type ornaments)

Here is a glimpse of our 7 1/2 foot Artificial Tree we have in our Family room. It is called a slim tree (it doesn't take up as much room as a regular size tree) it is our "Old Fashion Christmas Tree" decorated with mostly hand made ornaments..some 35 yrs. old, some our adult children like left on this tree so when they come home for Christmas they can relive memories of childhoods past.

I made dough ornaments many yrs ago. I did

not make this one but love it. We have a

mixture of handmade/old fashion ornaments

on this tree. There are many cross-stitched

ones too. These are some of my favorites I

love to reminisce about each year.

I love our mechanical Santa..He has been

a part of our Christmas for many years..

He hasn't changed a bit in all these yrs..

We always have red bows/Angel on top & red/

white fur tree skirt...I love the old fashion

look..

It reminds me somewhat of the

ornaments when I was growing up..Our

tree however was always a Charlie Brown

type for a few dollars..I always thought it

was beautiful..I guess because of all the

love that it received...It looked like the

Rockefeller Center tree to me...My parents

always made things wonderful even if we

did not have as much as others...we have plenty
of love & that made for a wonderful childhood.

Hope this inspires you to even Make some of your ornaments
this year & treasure them for years to come.
