The Christmas Tree is Up

We put the Christmas Tree up today. This year we decided to go with our artificial tree. I know it was a hard decision for Allison because she loves real trees. The thing is, real trees are harder to find, more expensive and much smaller than they have been in years. We have a very nice artificial tree that has been on the front porch the past couple of years. It is a really nice tree and all the branches are sturdy so they can hold many of our ornaments. We even have a full collection of Hallmark ornaments from every year that we have been a family. They are my most favorite ornaments.

Last year I bought 2006 and 2007 to make sure that we had them all. I printed up the photos the other day for 2006, 2007 and 2021. Andy must like photo ornaments as well since he picked up a photo ornament for the tree. I then realized that we do not have many family photos in portrait size, most are landscape oriented. I will have to move the hook on the frame. It is a nice ornament and it is very nice that he thought of the family in that way.

Stockings at Cumberland Farms

I stopped in to Cumberland Farms tonight and noticed that they had decorated and saw that there were two stockings next to each other. There was an Eva and an Andrew one. I took a quick snap of the stockings. We’ll be working on our own Christmas decorations this week. We’ve already got the tree up. We’re going with our artificial tree this year because there are not many trees out there and they are very expensive. Luckily everyone got on board with this and this time we are putting the tree in the living room. I’ll be posting up photos once we decorate it.
