I have to admit that I don't like decorating the Christmas tree. I am too short, it is too tall, most of the ornaments I have are absolutely decades old and are beginning to look it. I wish I could kidnap my daughter for a day and have her decorate the tree for me like she used to do when she was a child. She was a perfectionist and absolutely ran her brother off when he tried to help. I was more than content to get out of her way and let her do it.
Some years we don't put up the big tree because we have a small tree in the center of the Christmas Village that goes up every year. That tree is decorated with candy canes, jingle bells and glittery pinecones.
Since I don't particularly enjoy the decorating part of things, I started slow this year and did just what made me happy to do at the time. I didn't want it to become a chore.
I started with the ornament collection started for me by JLSHall. I added one this year in the form of a little owl sitting on a candy cane. For some reason he just spoke to me.
The Nutcrackers
And, of course, Tuppy
I wonder where he has gotten off to -- haven't seen him in awhile. Hmm..that pesky little elf!
So, it is all decorated and I actually think I enjoyed it this year. I decided early on that there was no "decorate by" date and I think stretching it out just made it better!

I love your decorations. I don't enjoy decorating...my daughter used to do it, too.
Now I have three small trees that I decorated the first year...and carefully put them away like that. I just bring them out and fluff them up. Lazy, huh?
