So, call me weird, but I asked for a xmas tree from my nicey nicey bf this year- and it's a very nice tree. Since there was more room in his parents house, we put it up in there and decorated it with stuff that's been hiding in the attic for several years! Free ornaments! From decades past!
It's so ridiculously fun to decorate trees. In New England, it is a given that your tree will be a live tree. Ours was a very prickly blue spruce that was very wide. We had a couple hundred glass ornaments on it, but for some funny reason, the ornaments that were the most fun were these guys that were probably made by one of Cs sisters at some point...
Last but not least, Cs sister made me this very cool stocking- it's made of OLD SWEATERS! Tres chic example of reuse, no?
