Our Christmas Tree has a whale in it. It's blue. A blue whale. Emma made it in third grade, I think. Every year it comes out with all the other decorations and goes on the tree. Along with a rope garland that someone made as well. Our tree has none of the 'normal' round colored ornaments. At least not anymore.Today I put up the Tree and Decorations. Every year, for about 30 seconds, I debate whether to bother. We don't have a lot of visitors and the kids are not here for any length of time. Then, I do it anyway and I'm always glad I did. Putting out the decorations is a trip down memory lane. Each ornament now has a history. Most have been purchased or made to memorialize something like a trip somewhere, a milestone, a favorite something for that year.
Then there's the Christmas Village to set up as well. Ours is the only village that has farm animals in it! I didn't put those out though. Jimmy or Emma will have to do that.
So it took almost three hours to put everything up and it was worth every minute.

No pictures? What about those of us who need inspiration to get our own stuff up??
