Trimming the tree November 29th

This is when it all starts: The weekend after Thanksgiving. Steve and I participate in black Friday, we hang the lights outside, and I decorate the tree. This year, I'm blessed to be in our new home and be able to put the tree in the middle of the window for all to see. I keep the lights on until we go to bed and leave the blinds up and curtains back for all to see my beautiful piece of art. I pride myself on this tree. I work hard all month long to insure it will be perfect for Christmas. It's not pressure. I enjoy it. I string popcorn, and hang ornaments and search for the perfect new ornaments to hang on the tree. I just love it! So this year, I've decided to add another tree. I know, crazy. But it is little and I put it in the pre school room. The kids love decorating it and then taking them all down and starting over again. I even taught the older ones how to string popcorn.
