My tree is a hodge podge of memories--hallmark ornaments, glass balls that a great-great aunt hand-painted that are probably 75 years old, beaded ornaments that my grandmother made, a popsicle star that Kristen made in grade school, and most recently Pier One ornaments. Love them all!Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843006118151762550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-21741695292277399772013-12-09T20:16:19.868-05:002013-12-09T20:16:19.868-05:00Kristi - I almost bought a white one for the offic...Kristi - I almost bought a white one for the office, but couldn't make myself do it. I'll bet it's so fun!<br /><br />Nan - You'll get there, and Christmas happens in the heart, not the calendar. You're going to have so much fun in January!<br /><br />D'Ann - Mine, too, and I guess I am, too. I try to adapt to change here in my dotage, but it's not always easy!<br /><br />Ashantay - Oh, I'd love to see them. I'll bet they're beautiful!<br /><br />Alison - We had a year w/o a tree when we were in the middle of remodeling one year--I cried buckets, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get with it. I wish you and your family happy Christmas anyway.<br /><br />Katherine - Two of our trees are pre-lits. I love them! The other one is my little two-footer on the kitchen island, which I cover with a trash bag and put away completely dressed. :-)<br /><br />Jim - Thanks for coming. My son-in-law would love your Trekkie tree!<br /><br />Thanks to everyone for your comments!Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-17382586095143226642013-12-09T20:04:22.754-05:002013-12-09T20:04:22.754-05:00Wonderful post, Liz!

We have the full size tree the family decorates and then I have a 3 foot tall three that is decorated exclusively with Star Trek ornaments because I'm just that much of a Trekkie! lol J.C.

It's a huge time saver when putting it up and taking it down unlike the 7 foot tree we used to have that took up half the living room. By the time I put all the strands of lights on it, I was more than done with the decorating and the other family members would put on the ornaments and such. <br /><br />I love your comparison of romance novels to Christmas trees, Menorahs, and snowflakes.

For the first time IN MY LIFE, I won't have a Christmas tree. We're flying to Chicago to spend the holiday with our daughter, but she doesn't have a tree either because she always come to visit us! I'm already planning to go all out next year - I'll have so much pent-up Christmas spirit!Alison Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725250883303287946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-42305686500374433452013-12-09T13:12:45.669-05:002013-12-09T13:12:45.669-05:00No matter the formula used - each writer makes the...No matter the formula used - each writer makes the story their own and we are all the better for that diversity. <br /><br />Oh, and trees?

I'm not in the mood, but I'll get there as soon as we go up attic and pull down the Christmas decorations. My kids won't be here until after New Year's Day...maybe that's it. But I'm imagining your beautiful farm house and all the lovely decorations and it's getting me closer to the mood...thanks!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809913527142033733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-67323510769823084002013-12-09T09:04:40.096-05:002013-12-09T09:04:40.096-05:00Our tree (this year) is white...with a hot pink, g...Our tree (this year) is white...with a hot pink, glittery star on top. It's gaudy and I never thought I'd like a white tree, but it really shows off the ornaments well! And, though I think I'll go back to a green tree next year, I like our non-traditional tree this year. :) Great post, Liz, thanks for sharing!Kristina Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674920511835640874noreply@blogger.com
