Last weekend we bought a small artificial Christmas Tree at a thrift store, and brought it home and set it up.  We had to re-arrange some furniture, and now walking through the place is a little bit more challenging, but we’ll make do with it for a few weeks!  I’m hoping to have the time to decorate it this weekend.  I have a pretty large collection of handmade ornaments that I like to put on the tree.  Some were made by friends and family, some I made.  Each one is full of memories, and that is why I like to decorate the tree – each ornament holds a memory that is very dear to me in some way.  I think that is why I like Christmas so much!
