In my faith - there is much concern over anything that could be
considered an 'idol' in one's life. At Christmas time - the tree
can be seen as that. Every year I challenge myself with the thought -
'Could it still be Christmas to me without a tree?"
I love Christmas decorating - the same as I love all home decor.
But that is not the Christmas story - only a part of
homemaking at this time of year.

We've been doing a
tabletop tree - it fits in our already
crowded living room with no rearrangement necessary.
Indeed - I could do no tree - but I do love to sit by the twinkle
lights at night and the ornaments are fun to collect.
I've used the same color scheme for years - rose and gold.
And every ornament has been gathered for next to nothing.
Do you shop yard sales for Christmas?

The tree looks really beautiful! I am an avid after Christmas clearence shopper. Not only do I get good deals, but by the following Christmas I've forgotten what I've bought so it is fun for me when I get out my decorations because I get to see my new stuff. :)
