Decorating The Tree For Christmas

Prompt:Lyn how we decorate the tree for Christmas. Do we have a theme? Do we use family memotos?

I always use a white artificial tree. Over the years, we had to set out 20 to 25 limbs matching the colors on the tab. What a pain. You put the lights on. Now, we have a white tree and it is in three pieces and have the lights already on it. A lot easier.

I don't have a theme. I use lavender ornaments to start out with. I have wolf ornaments, dinosaurs, Elsa and Anna of Frozen, Barbie, Teddy Bears, Religious ones; Winnie The Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, Frosty The Snowman, Wizard Of Oz: Dorothy, Witch, Toro, Winged Monkeys,Beanie Bears, Rudolph, Unicorns,Horses, Rocking Horse,Johnny Cash and his guitar that plays Rlng Of Fire, Survivor that plays Survivor Theme, Yellowstone Barn, Dr. Beverly Crusher, Christmas Vacation Moose Mug and Clark Griswald on the round silver sled that plays him yelling when he went down the snow and hills. I have Twilight Bella and Edward, The Batmobile with Batman and Robin. I have Victorian Dolls and clothes ones. I have Holland blue and white teacups, Lighthouses, cat ornaments. I have one that looks like my cat. I have a gingerbread one. I have polar bears. I have a purple stocking I put on the tree. I had an Knight in Shining Armor but he fell off the tree and broke his arm and I couldn't fix him. I promised Ray we will put some Star Trek and Star Wars ornaments on the tree this year.

I put up my Precious Moments Nativity figures up every year. I put out my houses. I have a Jane Austen Ballroom Set, Bridal Shop, Toy Teddy Bear Shop, Music Shop, Lighthouses and Photography Shop. I have a stuffed polar bear under the tree, a stuffed dancing moose, a brown Teddy Bear.

I have a small porcelain tree I keep up all year and Santa and a reindeer set.

This is what Christmas looks like at my house. I do love Christmas.
