Decorating the Christmas tree always seemed like the best way to spend a frigid evening with the warmth of your house and the childhood memories creeping in. As a young child I loved taking each ornament out, one by one, and marvelled at the stories behind each one. Then I would find the perfect spot on the tree to showcase them =] .
As I am getting older I appreciate the childhood trinkets but am leaning towards a coordinated tree. Have a select set of colors and stick to it! Some may say it takes away from the sentimental feeling of Christmas, but my creative desires would like to disagree!! One day, when I have kids, it will be a different story! Or they will have their own tree to put their creations on while still having an adult tree. Who knows!
“Thousands of lights were burning on the green branches, and gaily-colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down upon her. The little maiden stretched out her hands towards them when--the match went out. The lights of the Christmas tree rose higher and higher, she saw them now as stars in heaven . . .”
-Hans Christian Anderson
