We may have to come up with a new rendition of that song with our tree this year. This one is quite...how do you say...homely? Here's the story: We have an acre of land that is mostly wooded. The trees on our property range in type, age, size, etc. Unfortunately, we don't have any spruce or douglas fur trees, which make great trees. We were trying to be practical with this because there are a few trees we have been wanting to remove anyways. So we figure we would make a 'marked' tree our Christmas tree. Well, there you have it folks. It is endearing, and actually looks okay when it's lit up with ornaments, besides the star on top that bows to the side. We only had one casualty with an ornament that Madie was hanging, luckily. The branches aren't the strongest. We'll have to plant some trees that will be more serviceable for the future. It was fun to carry on the Watkins family tradition of cutting down our own tree.
Another tradition we have been following is making a gingerbread house. Candy to eat while we decorate a candy covered house? Everyone is all in.

It's a Charlie Brown Christmas tree!
At least you're carrying on the tradition! And, at least the tree probably smells great!
