Now It Looks Like Christmas

Because this is the first year my home and I are celebrating Christmas together, and more importantly, most of my family is travelling here to spend the holidays together, I decided to really decorate. I haven't done this for a few too many years now.

During the last two weeks I have spent countless hours unpacking ornaments and decorations, making bows, arranging and rearranging, trying to decide where to place what, and now I'm finished. I am so happy with the way everything fit in a new place.

I had fun pulling it all together, but the most fun was decorating the tree with my 5 year old grandson. He loved looking at the ornaments and deciding on the perfect spot to place them on the tree. I think we put about 150 ornament on the tree, and 100 of them are on the bottom three feet. In the beginning as he was placing the ornaments, I thought I will just rearrange them a bit when he goes home. When we finished, I knew I wouldn't touch a single ornament. Although it looks nothing like a tree I would normally decorate, it's my favorite tree ever. Everytime I look at it, I think about his excitement in decorating it. Makes me smile and feel are warm and fuzzy.

So here you go, here's a peek inside my Christmas Home.
