The Christmas season has arrived.
It began for me last week with the Santa Claus Parade. We braved the cold and crowds and took our kids for the first time. This past weekend we got our fresh tree and I'm starting to decorate the house. Each year, I give the kids their own tree which they are free to decorate as they please, while I reign over the main tree in the living room. They complain that my tree is boring because it's understated, and lacking in bright colours. Alas, my tree is not beautiful enough to post, so here are a couple of trees that I think make a real statement:

| A girly tree |

| Stunning. I wish I could pull this off. |

| My lovely berry bowl from Restoration Hardware |
Hi Shinae,
ReplyDeleteI usually get my tree about three weeks before Christmas, and I keep it up till after New Year's Day. Just make sure you cut the bottom at an angle and keep it in a stand that you can add water to so that it won't dry out. Sugar water makes the tree last longer. Eventually the needles do fall, though. Still, I love the smell of a fresh tree. If I can fix up the tree to my liking, I'll post a pic!
