Christmas trees are like a blank page, tell us how you're going to decorate yours. Do you do a theme? Do you put up just family mementoes, maybe a mixture of store bought and homemade? Lights or no lights. ![Merit Badge in BCoF 2

Congratulations on your virtual blogging adventure!](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-BCoF_2-1901868_14.gif) We have used a 7-foot tree for years. We used to go to the woods and get a real tree when the children were all still home. It got to be a problem as the years of heavy snow made that a problem. Everyone was in favor of an artificial tree which we purchased one year at the end of Christmas when trees were on sale. I used to buy one new decoration a year for the tree. There were so many decorations I could not use them all, so I stopped buying more. Now I decorate with the ones I like best. There are lots of favorites. I used to have a string of objects that twirled when you plugged them in that was fun. The string stopped working but, I put them on the tree anyway. It has little angels playing instruments, Mice in a house and other small creature. Some of my decorations are home made. Lots of angels and a star at the top. The tree got old and some of the limbs broke a couple years ago. I shortened it and used it anyway. Then someone put a different tree in the closet last year, so I used the different one. Over the years someone has come into our house and traded trees at least one other time. I use whatever is there. Also, put up a manger scene every year. Christmas brings a special change to the house. Most years I put the tree up the first day of Buck hunting season and take it down on New Years Day. Last year I put it up earlier and took it down later. Have not decided about this year yet. Have to open the closet and see what is in there. |
