O Christmas Trees

I love Christmas trees!!

This year I was to impatient to wait for Thanksgiving to be

over and I put my tree up the weekend before!!

I put the tree up all by myself, lights and all!

I did end up with lots of scratches on my arms

and a watery eye {after I stabbed myself with a branch}

but it was all worth it!

I have the lights on a timer and it's so great to walk

in my front door after work and see the tree glowing!!

There is just something wonderful about the

glow of a Christmas tree!!!

Another reason I love getting out the tree is to see all

of the decorations!! I am an ornament collector!

I like to buy something new to hang on the tree anytime

I go on vacation. I love unwrapping all of the ornaments

and remembering the places I went and the people I was

with when I got them.

Like this awesome cable car I got when I went with my

best friend Lacey to San Francisco!!

Or this cute palm tree I bought on a California vacation

with Christine and Mari!!

And I love getting this ornament out of its small box!!

It reminds me of the time I went with Chicago with my

mom to see Wicked!!

This one is awesome!! I got it at the San Diego zoo on a road

trip with my friend Tiffany. It's made out of elephant poop!!

Yes, you read that right!! Poop!!

And of course there are a number of ornaments that remind me

of my trip to Europe!!

And no tree of mine would be complete without

all of my Disneyland ornaments!! I think there

are more Disney ornaments on the tree than

anything else!!!

I also wanted to make our mantle look fun and

Christmasy!! I love Christmas lights and knew that I

wanted the mantle to be covered in white lights!

This is what I can up with!!

But one Christmas tree just wasn't enough!!!

I am at work ALL day and needed something I

could enjoy in my office!! So I put up my

black, white and red tree!!!

And then I decided that two trees just wasn't going to

cut it this year!! So I put one up in my bedroom!!

How could I resist the pearl like garland!! I HAD to have it!!

And I love the little, sparkly snowflakes!!

But these silver word might just be my favorite!!

And one last picture......

because you can never have enough Christmas lights!!
