Oh Christmas Tree

This is what it looks like when you walk into my house.
It's up and glowing. My ornament collection has grown and grown. And I love them all in their own way.
I remember when I was a little girl and the excitement of getting the tree was the best part. I loved the decorations. My family was very much the opposite. I found there were a lot of years, I did all the decorations myself. My Grandma was unable to put up her tree herself so I went over and did it for her for years. I have two very special angels with bread twist ties for hooks that used to be hers at the top of my tree. They are priceless to me. I grew such a fondness for Christmas ornaments. I love Hallmark one the most because off the detailing involved with them and the collectible factor. I love all different kinds. I'm always on the look out for something different. I'm lucky to have a select few signed by the artist who created them. When Chris and I got married 14 years ago, it started and now my kids go and pick out one ornament for themselves each year. I lost count as to a total but my 12 ft tree has few bare spots.
