RE: Christmas Tree Tuesday
Haha, well Dave and I have only been together 8 years, so yes, the tree is older. 😜 Maybe I'll just keep them both for a while longer.
Aww, that makes me miss living at home because we used to help my mom put the ornaments on the tree. She did all the tough stuff like stringing the lights and bows or garland, but we loved to help with the ornaments. It was tradition for my paternal grandmother to give us each our own new ornament every year. The one we always fought over to have the right to put it on the tree was "Winkin', Blinkin' and Nod". My parents aren't doing a tree again this year since we have started going to my sister's house for Christmas. Kind of makes me sad, but there's room for plenty of new traditions!
In good news, my niece didn't cry at her Santa picture this year. Though she still didn't look overwhelmed at sitting on the big guy's lap. 🤣
I applaud your niece! Stranger danger! Obviously Dave does not know how lucky he is to have someone so nice. LOL well, I can honestly say that I hope I decorate until the day I die, but sometimes the older people find that it's more trouble getting everything out and making it nice for nobody but themselves. So, I guess there's that. On the other hand, I do believe the tree deserves the extra life that you're going to give him. By few more ornaments and call it macaroni.
I think every family has one of those ornaments that everybody fights over. Oh my! And here I thought it was only us.
Oh my gosh, my sister texted the final picture that she got of my niece with Santa. She showed it to her and she said back, "I didn't smile, but I was happy." Toddler logic. Gotta love it!
Sweet!!! XOXO
