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

Check out aromatique's smell of christmas or pine ( I used to get it at Dillards), it's so nice to not have to clean up dried needles.
Everything looks wonderful!

Your home is lovely at Christmas time. I love the vintage ornaments and the quilts. I have my first ornament from when I was a baby, but, alas, all the other family ornaments are long gone. I like to collect old ones now. We use an artificial tree. I love the smell of the real ones but am so paranoid of fire and putting the lights on the real one. I usually put so many ornaments on it, like you do, that you can't see the tree anyhow.
a little bit biased
Just beautiful. Well your childhood ornaments are actually cute! Love your trees! Thanks for sharing pictures of your beautiful home!
