This year we decided that we would have an adventure and cut down our own Christmas tree. It was fun and we definitely picked out trees with their own personalities. Straight trunks were a luxury that we didn't find.
We cut down our tree last year and we learned a few things from that experience--like spray the tree for spiders before you bring it into the house and put the tree stands on outside where there is more room.
We always have great fun decorating our trees. We use the same ornaments every year. One tree is very eclectic and sentimental with ornaments we have collected and made over the years. Our second tree has heart ornaments and olive wood ornaments that I bought in Israel when I was there too many years ago. We decorate all together and laugh a lot as the ornaments bring back fun memories.
I love Christmas.
