We put up and trimmed our tree a couple of weeks ago. Trimming the tree is always fun for me because I can connect memories to just about each ornament. Several of the ornaments we have were given to us by Hubby's mother just before our first Christmas together. Some of them are little yarn dolls his grandmother made, there are a couple that Hubby made when he was but a wee one, and there are a few that are from his childhood collected through the years. There is the golden cut-out ornament from our honeymoon, the oyster half-shell from St. Simon's Island, all the creature ornaments, and of course, the Podlings. We haven't found a topper yet, but it looks alright to us. We are both pretty diligent in making sure the tree is lit before sundown when we're home, otherwise, it is one of the first things we do when we get home. Also, the whole front half of the house smells like Christmas all month.

I love its Trismas tree. It's cool you have mammories with all your ornaments, we do too.
I also love what you've done with the wall color and the curtains in that room!
