To make room for a tree in our small place, I put both beds in Mz's bedroom. (There's only the two rooms; I sleep in the main room).
There'll be seven of us at Christmas Eve dinner. I like dinner parties where everyone stays at the table and talks for hours. In this case, people will have to remain at the table because there won't be anywhere else to sit.
Our tree is about the same size, but silk, not real tree. Gotten when we lived in tiny places, too. Now, it would seem wrong to abandon the wee thing.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice, isn't it, to have the same old things from Christmas to Christmas. I have barely any old C'mas stuff: living alone for 13 years, I didn't bother much with decorations.
ReplyDeleteWe almost bought an artificial tree this year--Marz wanted one of those white ones! But we couldn't find a fitting one.
Silk plants are really good now, I've noticed, not like the horrible plastic artificial plants of my (our!) childhoods.
Can't find anything like what we have, either. All "pre-lit" which doesn't appeal.
ReplyDeleteI have decorations from elderly neighbors who gave my parents theirs when they stopped putting up trees, and we were the only house with kids. I feel like the guardian of traditions before my awareness.
Mr. Poodle and I didn't put up a tree this year, some years the family ornaments are too heavy. But! A dear friend sent a tiny tree made of ivy and it's just perfect for Christmas of 2013. Looking forward to seeing your pretty tree.
