Oh, and a Christmas Tree

December 23, 2011

I’m sure I promised you photos of our decorated Christmas tree a few weeks ago.

It’s small and sweet and I never want to take it down.

{The star at the top of the tree is one we I made, from cardboard and covered in tin foil, just like the one that has hung at the top of my parents’ tree since they were first married.}
{I’m sure I would have nailed the whole twinkly lights photography thing with a tripod. Just saying, I was this close!}

There’s no real theme with our ornaments, although it leans toward gold and glittery. Our first year in Dublin, I found gold glitter pine cones at a pound shop (the equivalent of the dollar store) and they have way more sparkle and shine than I could have DIY’ed myself. And we have a sweet little collection of ornaments hand-me-downed from Michael’s mother, or mailed from my parents. It’s my favorite tree yet.

Is your tree up? Is it monstrous or Charlie Brown? Colored lights or white?
