We finally decided it was time to buy a tree. We don't have any of our Christmas decorations here with us. Everything is in storage. I really felt awful about not using our Christmas stockings that Grandma B made us. I've used mine every Christmas, my whole life! Its such a huge tradition in our family. It made me sad that we weren't going to be opening our boxes filled with Christmas memories, all the ornaments we've collected, all the decorations we've made, all the pictures, I really felt sad. All of these things, all these traditions are what makes Christmas fun. I was telling a friend of mine about how I felt and she said I should start my own Christmas tradition of not having any traditions. So this was my one year to go out, buy ornaments and have a super fun, no strings attached, no tradition Christmas. I LOVE IT!
Bret and I went out and bought a tree and decorations while the girls were at school. Bret let me pick whatever I wanted! It was so fun!! My favorite part is the star! The girls have since covered it with handmade ornaments and our little elf has even landed here a time or two.
Since we got the tree we've finished all our Christmas shopping AND gift wrapping! Bring on the holidays!
