Wordful Wednesday - Christmas Tree and Presents

We put the Christmas tree up last night.  We've had it a few years and it's seen better days but I'm glad to finally have one up.  Most of the ornaments on our tree are personalized or hold special meaning of events and memories.

I've gotten most of my Christmas shopping and wrapping done.  Just a few more presents to go.  We don't have room under the tree to place them so they're all stacked upstairs.


We also had our first snowfall this morning but I didn't take a picture.  Snow doesn't excite me and I'd much rather do without.

How's your Christmas decorations and shopping coming along?

You are way ahead of me - I've got the shopping pretty much done, but haven't started wrapping yet (mostly because it's tough with Little Dude skulking about and only have that short window of time during his nap that seems to fly by too fast). No Christmas decor up yet, I still have yet to take down my fall decor...wanna come help me? ;)

We have had some serious financial struggles this year. Our 3 yr old had surgery which was very minor and did not come out the same child so we have has LOTS of medical bills trying to get him back to normal. We really could not afford a tree so we took the kids (total of 6 - his, mine and ours) out into the woods and cut our own tree this year. We let the kids pick it out (it is not too cute LOL) and let them do all the decorating with all homemade decortaions. The put pinecones they painted, they made a paper chain to go all the way around, and they spray painted leave. Though it may not be the most appealing tree it is the prettiest because it all comes from the heart.
