Oh Christmas Tree…and What’s in your stocking?

Decorating a real tree with lights, trim and a gazillion ornaments is a lot of work! I don’t do it every year because it takes so much time, not to mention all the pine needles and tree sap. Once it is up, it is amazing how cozy the home feels. Saving ornaments for decades, my favorite and oldest is from Christmas 1976. Oops, giving away my age… It’s these special ornaments, given to me by the people I love, that make me want to turn myself inside out to make it a festive holiday. I even put the ugly, non matching ones on…they’re on the back of the tree. Wishing everyone a beautiful holiday with lots of treats in their stockings.
