I love Christmas time! I love the foggy nights, and coats, sweaters and gloves! I love the warmth and smell of lit candles! I love Christmas songs and yummy Christmas treats! I love wrapping presents, and chatting with strangers in line when I'm buying the presents! I love reminding my kids to think about if they are being naughty or nice (usually when they are being naughty) followed by my terrible singing of one of my favorite Christmas songs (now that I am a parent), Santa Clause is Coming to Town. I love hot chocolate and candy canes and walking into a store and hearing the best Christmas song of all time, Baby It's Cold Outside! Christmas time is just the best!
So, here were are, starting off the holiday season, decorating the Christmas tree! The kids always love to help, which means I usually have some rearranging to do when they are at school!

A few years ago, we gave in and bought an artificial tree. I thought I would miss the tradition of going out and cutting down a tree, but so far, I haven't! It's clean, it's dry, it's not lopsided, and it's prelit!
I keep saying I'm going to get a real tree for the kids. They could put it in the loft and decorate it with all the cute things they make at school. So far, I haven't done it. For now, our tree is a mixture of my stuff and theirs. Maybe next year I will have a "pretty" tree and a kids tree!

Yes, that is the second floor that I am using to help balance myself!
I bought garland after Christmas last year for my stairs! I love it! Next year I want to add berries!
I hope you are enjoying the holiday season! Merry Christmas!!

Your house looks beautiful. I love how festive it is. So fun!
What a beautiful tree! I thought I would miss all the tree fun too but your right- I love how clean it is!
I love your tree. How tall is it? I'm like you and end up rearranging the tree when the kids aren't there.
Hi Tara,
Who cares about the tree; I have to comment on that bootie!! I would have to do a little photoshop to get mine to look that way, and then what about the rest?
Love ya,
Haley
