It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Well, it finally really feels like Christmas because we finally put up our tree and decorations!! All of December I have known that Christmas is coming up and it has gotten colder and it kind of felt like Christmas but it didn't really because whenever we were home there were no decorations, tree and nothing that reminded me of Christmas. On Saturday we finally got out our few decorations that we have and went to Home Depot to get a Christmas tree and set them all up and now it finally really feels like Christmas!! I am so excited and cannot believe that Christmas is right around the corner!!

I turned on some Christmas music and Nena was dancing and dancing to it but in this picture you can't tell she's dancing at all.

The finished product!! It looks really good in real life. In the picture you can't even see the lights. They are so fun, they are the kind that blinks on and off and does patterns!! I love real Christmas trees because they make the whole house smell so good all the time. The thing I don't like is that they are so messy and there are always needles everywhere. The smell makes the mess all worth it though!!! We weren't sure how Nena was going to be with the tree and at first she kept taking the ornaments off and so we put a little hand vaccuum in front of the tree because she is kind of afraid of vaccuums and so far that has done a pretty good job at keeping her from getting too close to the tree.

I know what you mean it doesn't feel like Christmas until home is decorated. That's funny about Nena and Vaccums, what ever works right??

I like the smell of real trees, but can't stand the mess or the expense of buying one every year. We used to go get our own, but we gave up on that a few years ago. I gather some juniper branches to make our house smell like Christmas, but I love our pre-lit artifical tree! Of course, we're old and I wouldn't have thought of getting one when we were young.
