Last Sunday we headed out to a Christmas tree farm to cut down a fresh tree. It was fun, but we didn't find any left in tact we liked enough, so ended up buying a tree already cut --- its about 7.5 ft high and smells NICE!
The kids, Danny, BamBam and I all had fun! Its always interesting when 2 families with their own personal traditions/histories of Christmas try to combine them. I was grateful when Michael insisted on colored Christmas lights b/c that's what I grew up with. I handed out the ornaments while everyone else placed them on the tree. And yes, I do believe I "art directed" as to where which ornament would look best. They kept hearing me say, "There's a hole there. There's a hole there -- it needs an ornament."
In the end, my husband, was sure to let everyone know only I would have the honor of placing the angel on the tree top. She is a beautiful white angel. I know they make black angels. Would be nice to have an Asian Angel??? She could say, "Melly, melly chlistmas!" Oh, I'm so bad.....
