A couple of years after my mom & middle sis left home for the far reaches, my baby sis decided that since she was going to decorate the tree at Dad's house HER way, she was going to toss all the fabulous "old" ornaments we grew up with: handmade ornaments from Germany when my parents were stationed there; handmade ornaments we kids made; handmade ornaments my mom boughtKatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312698112377656801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28932372.post-33265246962182840852007-11-24T15:13:00.000-06:002007-11-24T15:13:00.000-06:00That was a fun post, BG!

Lil Sprout definitely knows what she wants, doesn't she?<BR/><BR/>I just love all your Christmas decorations.

I'm on a purple, blue and gold theme these last few years. Probably this year too.<BR/><BR/>I usually start setting up the tree on Thanksgiving Day.

I...BG, your family is so much more lucky than mine! I mean, my version of Christmas decorating means forgetting where the decorations are in storage (not a problem this year), then frantically hauling them out the day before Christmas, and cutting a small spruce from our land, and getting hives from it (yes, I won't be cutting any more spruce!) and enduring the spouse's Xmas-phobia.
