And I love it… But here’s a little secret. Don’t tell anyone… but I don’t use the upstairs unless I have guests and I can’t handle that big tree. I do have sons around now who can help. For a number of years that wasn’t the case…. SO, that tree in the window stays up all year. I just turn the lights on for the Christmas season. #2 son from Texas put up the angel in the front yard and my trees in the living room – I loved watching him, my #1 grandson and my #1 grandson-in-law decorate the trees. I might have added a few decorations around after they left.

- Goofy little elf greats on you entry table
- Mama got run over by a reindeer

This little tree stays up all the time. Why, because I like it.

Oh my goodness, Debbie – I’m so sorry you’re sick and you will definitely be in my prayers for a quick recovery. Do take care of yourself. Thanks for the lovely comments on my decorations. I do love them all and enjoy just looking at them every year. I will have some family. #1 son and his wife are just next door and their son & his wife are coming in from Minnesota for a week. My youngest granddaughter and her hubby are coming for a couple of days between Christmas & New years – so I’ll get to see… Read more »
