Oh Christmas Tree
I’ve always had a live tree. It’s only in the past several years that we’ve gone to an artificial tree. It’s against all my principles, but it’s necessary. It’s an artificial tree or no tree, it’s that simple. The month gets shorter every year, and there’s never time now to get “Christmas” pulled together. So I fill my tree with so many ornaments you can hardly see the branches. Ahhh, but I miss the smell of pine!
My tree is a happy one this year. Must be because of these little red heads…
This little angel is perched in the branches, watching over the tree. She’s new and she’s from Nordstrom!
And the Allie dogs love their place among the ornaments…a pink Allie
… a gray “French General” Allie
And isn’t that Henrietta Whiskers in my tree? Can you see her? She’s a little shy.
My little feather tree sits in our family room and holds my childhood ornaments every year.
And my sweet snow angel sits near a container of ornaments.
And every year my special collection of teddy bears adorn the dining room.
One of these days I’m going to have a tree filled with bunnies. Seems the right thing to do. Of course, I’ll have to get a live tree to celebrate!
Hugs,
Anne

I love your little red head, it reminds me of my daughter when she was little. I need to run to Nordstrum's and see if I can find one for my red head before she gets home from college.
Thank you for the peek at your trees. We are in the process of putting ours up. We have a little advent tree in our dining room that's been up since December 1st. My husband assembled the artificial tree yesterday and our cut tree is waiting to be brought in. We celebrate Epiphany on January 6th and our trees usually stay up until the middle of January. Mostly because it takes us so long to get everything back down.

It's all so beautiful Anne! I especially love that little feather tree. And I have a wrought iron shelf just like your teddy bear shelf only mine is black!

Over 10 years ago I finally figured out that I was usually sick the entire month of Dec. Because of my Christmas tree. We always went out and chopped ours down. Since then it has be artifical and I no longer have upper respiratory issues…duh. Then when they came out with pre-strung lights on fake trees…I was in heaven and i do believe I saw the red headed angel! Your tree is the sweetest!
