As I looked back at my Christmas blogs, I realized I had not actually posted a pic of my main tree in my living room… I guess it is fitting though… It deserves its own post for several reasons…
One, it is the centerpiece of all my decorations… Without the main tree in the living room the rest of the house would look kind of dull.
Two, one of my most favorite and cherished Christmas decorations ever is hanging on this tree… If you will notice really closely, you will see the snowman garland at 3 different levels… The first year I had this tree (6 years ago)…my first real tree…my mom made my sister and I this garland… She bought the pattern and materials at Wal-mart and actually sewed it on her sewing machine. It is so creative and I have never seen anyone who has something like it…Plus, knowing that mama thought of us and hand made it makes it so special… I wouldn’t take anything for it.
Three, This year my mom decorated the tree for me… Let me explain… I worked all day the day before Thanksgiving… I put up all the lights on my bushes… all the Christmas knick knacks… I put up the tree in my bedroom… and when all was said and done I was tuckered out…
2 weeks later the tree in the living room still had not been decorated… Sooooo, the first Saturday in December, my mom sneaked into my house while I was at praise band practice and decorated the whole thing… I was so happy to see it when I got home… What a gift it was for her to do that… She knew I was busy and didn’t seem to have time to get caught up… What a Mama!!!
I hope you enjoy looking at the tree as much as I do!!!
