We have had many different opinions about what the perfect Christmas tree will look like. We all agree that it should be the real thing. I like the trees with fewer branches, farther apart so that you can see the ornaments. The kids all roll their eyes and say "Charlie Brown tree". They all want the thick, shrubby, twelve feet tall tree. The ones that are so thick you just sort of shove the ornaments in and the branches hold them up. Right now the little kids are madly cutting snowflakes to put on the tree. Great idea! I am hoping they will forget about them before the tree actually arrives.
The kids did a great job of decorating the tree. I washed dishes while they put up ornaments. They had a great time, and as soon as we established that I was not in charge of the project things went much better. BK thought the tree was too short, but after Rick explained that the extra couple of feet was going to cost $40 we all got really happy with the tree we have.
I'm dreaming of what my tree will look like when they all move out. I told them they can get their own trees someday and I will not criticize them. I will however, have my Charlie Brown tree all decked out with the ornaments that are left after years of tumbling off the trees.
