We love eating next to this beauty and the best part is, we can see it from the living room as well. Joe made some clippings from the bottom that I was able to put in vases and place in my bedroom and the living room so the whole house smells like Christmas. We still need to find a tree topper, since we’re thinking the one from last year got donated because of it’s awkwardness and inability to stay on top of the tree. The hunt will begin for that!
I think the best part of our tree this year is the fact that we used all non-breakable ornaments and mostly vintage hand made ornaments from my Mom. They have so much sentimental value for me. The other ornaments that mostly fill the tree are silver snowflakes from Joe’s childhood purchased by his Aunt Pam from the Metropolitan Museum Art in New York. He has about 30 of them and each one is different.
Have you trimmed your tree yet? Any special ornaments going up? Do you stick to the sentimental ones or ones that fit within a theme? Send us your photos of your tree and we’ll showcase them on the ol’ blog!
