The Holidays are coming

The day after the Election I went through the storage closet and I wanted to see what our tree looked like since we got it from a very generous person from freecycle. Freecycle is a website where you post things that you would like to give away for free. It's great! Anyway I took the box out and open it up and the tree is absolutely perfect. It's a prelit tree and there's only a couple of lights that don't work but overall I couldn't ask for a more perfect tree.

Since there's nothing wrong with it I had planned on living it in the box for at least a week . I really didn't feel like putting it back into the storage closet because I arranged everything back really neatly, and the girls had plans of their own. They insisted that the tree has to be up. It was a 1-2-3 step tree so easy. We are saving the decorations for after Thanksgiving!

Is it me or does everybody just love Christmas decorations and collections! I can not figure out how I want my tree. I'm going through all of the collections and I really do love them all. I love the gold, bronze, silver, white, and even the more modern neon colors. So I ask my husband which colors do you like and he says the same thing. Since I can't make up my mind we just going to do the traditional red and green. This year I'm seeing a change.... The display trees don't have garland instead they are using ribbons and I'm thinking of doing the same.

I thought it was alittle crazy to put the tree up early...way early. But I think it's great. I think the holidays is a reminder that it's the people that count in life and now that our tree is up, I think it just helps us remember that much more.
