I love Christmas, and one of my first traditions of the season is putting up our real Christmas Tree and pulling out ALL of our decorations to dress it up (while the Mr. sits and watches to make sure I have enough lights throughout).
Our Christmas Tree is perfectly imperfect, it will never make the pages of a magazine, but it shows our life. It is decorated with love, it has;
4 pairs of "Tyler & Samantha" matching decorations
3 shoe decorations - all gifts to me!
a bulldog
multiple angels
a poker game tree
Santa surfing, Santa fishing (x2), Santa in a hot air balloon
Teddy Bears - lots
1 Sens and 1 Toronto Maple Leaf Decoration (Sens obviously higher on the tree!)
Penguins (3)
A cardinal in a bell (gift from a student)
Apples
Moose (2)
Snowmen
Plus ALL of the matching balls that are beautiful. The balls, without all of our other decorations, on the tree would make it a magazine tree, but that is not an option. What is Christmas with a tree filled with memories? I smile when I look at my horribly mismatched, over lit, overloaded Christmas tree - to me, it means Christmas.
XO,
S
