We didn’t get our Christmas tree on Sunday. After running some errands after church, the kids were tired and cranky and Nate & I decided it would be better to wait until Saturday. We’ll do it in the morning when everyone is happier and not in need of a nap! Getting a tree isn’t any fun when the kids are cranky and it’s getting dark. (It gets dark around here by 4:30 now!)
We did, however, get our Christmas decorations out! I love putting everything up with Christmas music playing in the background! Here’s a few of my favorite things:

Have you put your holiday decorations up? What’s your favorite piece?

Thanks Gina! I love it too; I got it a few years ago and other than the fact that there are only 5 hooks and 6 of us, it’s great!
Most holiday decorations are now up at the Brouse House! However we’re still waiting for the final installation or some of our outdoor display. (**sigh** yes, we have one of “those” houses which gets holiday tourists driving by). We’ve not put up a tree though. With Mouse into EVERYTHING now (aged 10 months) I don’t want to put up the main, tree with all the antique ornaments. That would be a recipe for disaster. So, I’m on the lookout for a 4-5 foot tree to put on one of our tables. I’m thinking of going old school with it and decorating it very plainly with bubble lights, popcorn strings & cutout paper snowflakes.

Ahh yes, the old dilemma between toddlers and Christmas trees. My little guy is 10 months too and between him and my 2 year old, I know our tree will be taking a beating!
I like the Christmas socks! Too bad we don’t have those when we celebrate Christmas. Just a Christmas tree, lights and wreaths on the door.
