We have had it for 3 years now and we are thinking of tossing it - one area the lights didn't work this year and we had to put a strand of lights on it to cover up that spot - and we are tired of the mess already after 3 years. Years ago we would go out to the woods and cut our own when we lived in the north - here in the south that doesn't always work out good I have found - if it gets really warmer than normal you might find you have spiders and other bugs coming off of it!

How does one choose! <br />Ornaments are a lovely way to remember trips and visits! <br />I have a series of ormanemts that my Mom has cross stitched over the years, pinned/hanging on a framed piece of wood that is always on display in my hobby room! Always in sight! She doesn't cross stich anymore due to her sore hands and wrists. So this really is a treasure to have!<br />Enjoy the Christmas days toghether! <br />Take care,<br />JoanneJoannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367841239911239597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-38542434123943667242013-12-25T01:54:20.476-08:002013-12-25T01:54:20.476-08:00I love your poodle ornaments!

We have a collection of ornaments and they don't all fit on this smaller tree. We have a mixture of a few really nice ones, but many hand made, thoroughly loved ornaments. There's the Kindergarten made pine cone Santa. He's about 34 years old. And there's the pig angel, another school art class project. And this year, once again I pulled out the origami crane. It was the Christmas of the Gulf War, 1983. I remember folding them, hand writing "Peace '83", and putting them in every Christmas card. I WISH that was the last war. As you said, though, life moves along and history shows up on our Christmas tree. Have a peaceful holiday and a Happy New year. I'm glad 2013 was the year of the plane-mate ... hmmmm ... I see a new ornament for next year!

(Have you priced real trees lately?) We're retired, so the plastic works for us. This year, because we are trying to sell our house, we have not put ornaments on the tree, and because we both have the flu and just can't get up the energy for all that. <br />I love a real tree, but I hate to think that one was cut down for just the two weeks of my pleasure. So plastic it is.<br />Hope you have a wonderful Merry Christmas at your house.<br />HugsTerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927552672720816359noreply@blogger.com
