Backtrack with me for a moment. I used to put up a 7 ft. artificial tree, cover it with lights and let the kids put on the ornaments. Now that the kids are all married, Tami and I decided we no longer need a full size Christmas tree. We gave our tree to Michael and Lauren and have opted for a smaller, easier to put up, tabletop tree. The kids won't be coming to our house for Christmas this year, so our decorations promise to be minimal. Less work putting them up. Less work taking them down and storing them. Please understand... if the kids or grandkids were coming over at Christmas, we would deck the halls with boughs of holly and every other light and decorative item we could get our hands on. But why go to all that work for just the two of us? My house won't look like Christmas Central this year, and we are both totally okay with that. We will get plenty of Christmas cheer at other peoples' homes.
Here's our old tree which is now Michael and Lauren's new tree. They decorated it more beautifully than I ever did. Good job, you two! It looks great!
