We actually had our Christmas tree before Thanksgiving, because our family didn't get together until Saturday and we got a smokin' Black Friday deal on a tree at Home Depot. We went with a Fraser Fir again this year--I like the short needles better than the long ones on a Douglas Fir. Anyway, as soon as most of the family cleared out on Saturday I got the decorations laid out. The kids (mine and my niece and nephew) went with Granny to see a decorated train downtown...which I still have little info about, but hey--at least it gave me a chance to get the lights, garland and balls on the tree before I let the kids loose on the ornaments. The kids had fun decorating, although they aren't great space planners yet. After I had the tree back to myself, I spread the ornaments out a little bit better. Also, I included a pic of our 'mantel'. Yea, I know it is just a shelf above the TV, but work with me here folks....anyway, this is where our stockings are hung with care. I'll work on getting a night time picture of our house because it is all lit up and a picture of the tree so you can see it lit up as well.
