"Silent night, Holy night, All is calm..."
I love this song. I get the most indescribable sense of peace just listening to it. My Jesus came to earth, and all is well. At least for one night, peace reigned.

| Our tree! We have a bucket for a tree stand, but until I can cover up the cardboard the tree is sitting on, you can't see the stand. |

| One of my favorite ornaments. Mother bought this for me last year, and it's painted/designed by Jim Shore. |

| Another favorite. I bought this at a craft fair last year. |

Cameron and I went Christmas tree shopping last night. We visited a few tree lots before going to Fred Meyer. I had see trees for a reasonable price there, plus they had a $5 off coupon in their flyer. Earlier that day, Cameron's mom gave me an additional 15% coupon that she had, and so we got a really pretty tree for a very reasonable price. We came home and drank hot chocolate and listened to Christmas music and decorated the tree. I love this season.
Just be sure to keep it watered so it doesn't catch on fire!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I've never had a real tree before! It looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou know, all these decorations and proclamations of fun are starting to thaw this ol' Grinch. And we can't have that. ;-)
