We got our first new tree in about 30 years. This one is prelit and we can change the color combinations. I always wanted white lights and Steve wanted multicolored. I’m amazed how much I like the multi color with some twinkling lights after 30 years of white lights. We also did a color coordinated tree for the last several years and this year we went back to our traditional family ornaments. It was a walk down memory lane seeing ornaments from our vacations and kid’s activities etc. This tree means more to me the color coordinated one need. I guess I’m getting older and wiser. 🙂 What color lights do you put on your tree? Do you do a color coordinated tree or a traditional tree? Can’t wait to hear what you have to say about this.

Am I the only one that piles my decorations on the island when I’m taking them down? When everything is gathered up, I fit them in the bins and take them to the basement. Our first prelit Christmas tree ever arrived at our front door this morning. I can’t wait to put it up and decorate it. The last few years I’ve used matching decorations, but this year I’m going back to our meaningful Christmas ornaments we’ve accumulated over the last 37 years. Please leave me a comment and let me know how your Christmas preparations are coming.
