Darling Decorations

 Decorating the Tree

You know Christmas is only a month away when we start to decorate our homes for the holiday. At my house, we usually have all our Christmas decorations up by the day after Thanksgiving. One of my favorite parts of the holiday time is decorating the tree. We personally use a artificial tree so it doesn't make a huge mess.

 Once we get ready to start decorating, we have to make sure we put some Christmas tunes on to get us in the spirit. My parents put the tree up and do all the boring, hard parts, and then my sister and I do all the fun decorations and ornaments. We have a variety of ornaments on our tree that include store bought items, and even home made items from previous years. Each year before we put the tree up we make a new ornament or go out and buy one to make that year special as well. That way our ornament collection is growing each year, and our tree is never bare. Even though we have many ornaments on our tree, you can't forget about the lights! Some people have colorful lights on their tree, but we personally have the simple white ones. To spice our lights up we have them set to a blinking setting so about every thirty seconds they blink. After we get everything on our tree, its time for the angel on top. I usually put the angel on each year on the top, because I'm taller than my sister so it's easier for me.

 After all the decorations are up we usually turn of the lights and admire how pretty and festive our living room now looks with our  Christmas tree. I am so excited because we will be doing this in just a few weeks.
