Christmas Decorations

Spending the day or weekend engulfed in Christmas decorations is a favorite event for my daughter Ally and me. We fill our house with decorations and relive past holidays. It is our day, give or take a boy or two. It is the one day that we do not argue and that we are one. For this reason I will always cherish the process for pulling out, hanging, and arranging our family’s Christmas decorations.

My Christmas Decorations

I believe in putting up the Christmas tree on Thanksgiving weekend and filling the tree with as many Christmas ornaments as it can hold.
I believe in small white lights and lots of silver ribbon.
I believe you can have artificial trees, but you must fill your house with pine scented candles.
I believe in an angel at the top of the Christmas tree and ornaments that are thirty years old hanging along the side.
I believe that ever Christmas tree should have at least a dozen birds hidden for children to find.
I believe in wrapping a few Christmas presents early, so the Christmas tree doesn’t look or feel lonely.
I believe there is nothing as pretty as a Christmas tree at night, sparkling in the dark, as children lay in front gazing in amazement.
I believe Christmas decorations should be both beautiful and sentimental.
I believe my Snow Village Christmas set is as pretty as it could be and that each broken piece holds a memory.
I believe Christmas brings out the best in us
I believe in Santa Claus.
