We LOVE to decorate for Christmas. This year has been a new adventure with our cat, Sophie. We have heard so many stories of cats with trees. Some are so funny, but all made us a little leery of how Sophie would do. As we unpacked the tree and began to place the branches this is what we got.
Our tradition is always to decorate the weekend of Thanksgiving. The kids always remind us. They love being a part of it. It is great as they have grown since our tree is quite tall. They all have a blast attaching the branches and making the tree look beautiful.
I always grew up with a real tree. When Dan and I married, money did not allow for a real tree. Someone gave us some money to buy a tree. We were able to buy this artificial blue spruce for $28. It was on a killer sale at Walmart. We bought the last one the they had the day before Christmas, but I love it because it really does have a real look to it. It has lasted us for 13 years! I dread the day that we will have to retire it.
We really enjoy decorating with our Christmas village, lit garland on the mantle (our bass really loves the highlight colors he gets), and of course the piano top. I love evenings with it all lit up and glowing. We just purchased some lit garland for our deck too. I can’t wait til the hubby gets home to help me string it up.
