Christmas tree

Thanks to my mom and Katie Glisson, I have a full tree up in my living room. Yay! My mom suggested the placement of the tree. It is where little hands can admire, but not touch. Katie told me about the shatterproof ornaments that now adorn the tree. We have our own ornaments up as well, but most are not breakable.

Sydney was watching me put it up last night. She would walk up to it wide-eyed, point, and say "ooh ohh!" In that moment, all the fuss was worth it. She has loved lights ever since she was tiny. I have given her a few ornaments to play with hoping that would satisfy her. For the time being, it has. Hopefully it will last!!

I am happy to have my tree up. To me, it is one of the best things about Christmas. I guess Sydney comes by it naturally. I love lights, too! One of my favorite things at Christmas time is to sit with the house lights out, a cup of hot chocolate or wassail in hand, Christmas music playing softly, and admire the tree. I've always figured it was my reward for the time spent putting it up. Plus, what's the point of putting one up if you don't pay any attention to it!!

So, thanks Mom & Katie for helping me make this Christmas special, too!!
