NBM 27 Thr tree

    The day after Thanksgiving is our usual day to put up the Christmas tree and decorate it. Our tree is never anything elaborate. We have used the same artificial treee for years. It's not huge, it's not very full, and it's not pre-lit, but it's ours. We put one set of white lights and two sets of colored programmable lights on it, and top it with a star lit with white lights. We have a hodge-podge of ornaments. These include standard colored balls, Star Wars and Star Trek, Hello Kitty, VW, Batman, a Red Lobster ornament (no comment about how I got that), and some homemade ornaments from when Tyler was little. This year I found a cute little red, glittery high heel that I added to the tree. I love watching tv at night with all the lights out and the tree lit up. It's definitely the season of joy!
