Now that you have heard all about our little adventure finding this year’s Christmas tree, here is the finished product...

These days I especially love to decorate the tree with white and glass ornaments.

Our lovely chandelier ornament
The tree is also filled with many more colourful ornaments that have special meaning to our family, while the rest are mainly white & glass themed.  I love the way the white and glass look against bluish spruce needles, and the white tool reminds me of soft snow.

We have started putting up lights outside.  It began with my husband saying he thinks we should hang icicle lights up.  We have a great roof line for it.  Then when he got out there with the lights he declared that if he tried to do that he might actually kill himself.  We are not the handiest family when it comes to that type of thing, and after the National Lampoon adventure finding our tree I did not want to push it and see the same thing happen with the lights. ;-)

We decided on going with white lights wrapped around garland in the front of the house and multi color lights on the Colorado spruce trees out back.  I can’t wait to share more photos with you in the days to come.  What a wonderful time of year!

Now back to decorating!  This wreath that you can no longer see needs to get hung on the door ;-)

Have a lovely day, friends!

 

What kind of lights do you like to put up?  White, multi, or a specific color?

Your tree looks beautiful! I love how classy and simple it is, but that there is still personality in it. My trees always have loads of color and character. A bt loud for most, but thankfully, I am live with my boyfriend who appreciates character and bright colors as much as I do!
Your wreath is camoflaged!! I wish there was snow in Texas right now! I am missing it so much.

Great tree Wendy. You are so artistic. I think you made a good call re: the lights. It might have been difficult in the snow!! I am starting to decorate today. Have a great visit with Pat and Aaron.
