I think I may have found the perfect Christmas tree. I've always been big fan of decorating for the holidays. I miss my family's traditions, but I have tried to make due since I've been away. This year, Jenn S., her husband Paul, their baby Riley, Justin and Sarah's friend Rachel came over to help me put it up and decorate. And of course, we had hot chocolate.
After a minor set back it getting the nails out of the bottom of the tree — which I won't disclose except to say that Justin broke my hammer — we draped it in lights, garland, ornaments and tinsel. Jenn was there last year to watch my process. "I mean this in the nicest way possible, but it looked like Christmas threw up on your tree," she said. Well, she hadn't seen my tree this year yet.
Lesson learned: Riley likes garland.

I feel the same way about Christmas... I'm so glad you have a tree up. Now that I'm back, I plan to get mine up this week. I get to pick one out of the woods...one that is in a crowd that needs thinning, then I get to put lights everywhere. I love it. And I love the smell.
