What Does Your Christmas Tree Say About You?

But I'm always nice!

I always get the blame.

So, what part of the tree do you insert into your Angel?

I can't believe he said that!!! How awful! If its any help PinkAngel I can lend you a few sprigs of holly with extra sharp pointy bits?

Hmmm very helpful, sounds rather fun though

He is quite rude and mean to poor ickle me you know!

It's the old-fashioned way for us. Ever since they were children, the daughters and I go out into the countryside and cut down a red cedar tree for Christmas (it's a unwanted nuisance tree here on the prairie). Mom, meanwhile, fixes a pot of winter soup and cornbread. The whole house smells of cedar by the time we finish supper and begin to trim our tree.

This year I'm getting a real tree. ( I prefer the real deal but my mother in law bought me a very nice fake about seven years ago.) My decorations are a hodge podge of what my mom gave me and what I have found in yard sales. I have a collection of angles I arrange on my piano with a Nativity scene and a collection of Santa s and Christmas trees I arrange together on my sideboard. I have Christmas lights strung though everything, so my home has that cozy Christmas glow. Now all I need is a Pumpkin Pie scented candle and the scene is set.

A six foot Nordman fir. I put the tree up, and do the lights.
My wife then decorates the tree beautifully.
We are expecting a houseful this Christmas but regrettably no grandchildren yet.

You've all got me in the Christmas mood, I will look for a tree with my grandson. Being much fitter, he can jump over the fence while I keep the engine running.
Marvelous!

That's the best way to find a tree! Aah! the memories.

My Christmas tree says nothing about me. I make sure it stands deferent and silent.
