We are setting up a Christmas tree for the first time since we moved here. Our fake tree from our old house is 7.5 feet tall, and is therefore too tall for our ceilings here. Thank goodness for Target. We picked up a 6 foot tree for $20 over Thanksgiving weekend and then took two days to light it and decorate it. The kids have really taken ownership in the tree and are having so much fun checking out the ornaments and other Christmas decorations we've set out. In addition to the long weekend of decorating, every day we open our advent calendar and read a short story about Christmas. They have fun with this, too, but Norah keeps wanting to skip right to the 24th, since it's the biggest.'Tis the season for happy memories!
