I'm thinking of how you might gut-giggle were you to see our tree.
Years ago, sometime around the year the twins were crawling, I decided to let go of my tree dreams and just let me dear children actually help decorate.
We now have a mish-moshed pine, with a sock-monkey tree topper.
Is it wrong to just imagine that your tree is mine? I think I'll do that.
I'm just going to watch and see all the trees get posted. Not decorating one this year.
Oh my cupcake..you have to post pic! Those trees are the special ones...with so many memories attached to each ornament. Now as for the sock monkey tree topper..well I might have to give an award for the most unusual tree topper...You'd definetly be in the running. That is pricelss!
Raquel..NO...not one tree? Say it isn't so!!
Now you know my Painted Nest is in utter chaos...so am I to send/post pics of my emergency replacement trees? Do I get a sympathy concession vote? LOL
CONCESSIONS??? SYMPATHY??? are you serious? LOL LOL
You are asking for exceptions to the rules & they haven't been posted yet...That is hysterical!!
xo
Emergency STASH of Christmas tree pics...who has those?? LOL
We just took pictures last night! I'll have to post them. But our tree is a smaller apartment-sized tree...
Sara..welcome! Cannot wait to see your pics...no matter the size it will be beautiful, I'm sure. Check back for details!
I won't be doing a tree this year...boy this is really going to be a change for us. I will however check back to see all the wonderful trees listed.

Well...I made it!!! I'm here. And everything looks so pretty...I see there's a competition going on...over Christmas trees?!? Well, sweetie, the only one I put up this year is an 18" gold metal tree - no ornaments or lights! No competition here.
