Oh Christmas Tree

Growing up, we always would put our Christmas Tree on Grandpa Sager's birthday, which is today - Happy Birthday, Grandpa! Once David and I got married, however, that tradition changed for me ;-) He likes to put up all decorations as soon as Thanksgiving is over. This year we're still a little slow since we were out of town Thanksgiving weekend, and he's been really sick for the last few weeks and just hasn't had the motivation. We did get our tree up and finally finished decorating it this week. Here are some pictures. Maybe I'll post more of our decorations later.
In years past, David has been known as Griswald, and this year neighbors, family, and friends were getting worried when his decorations weren't up ;-) and he'll still probably worry them since he didn't end up doing everything that we've done the last 4 years.

Here is our village...we've been collecting pieces over the last 8 years.




I would love to see your Holiday decorations - leave me a comment if you have them posted on your blog!

Oh wow your tree is gorgeous!!! Its such a glow of pretty white lights and ribbon! Your snow village is wonderful, I've been so tempted to start collecting houses for Christmas but I already have a collection of Dept. 56 Halloween houses. Maybe some day!

Your tree looks beautiful! I'd love to have pics posted to my blog, but we have nowhere to put a tree right now with our renovations going on - hopefully soon :) BTW, the little flip calendar I found at Ben Franklin of all places! Have a wonderful weekend!

Your tree looks great. Since we left the saturday after thanksgiving we weren't able to get our tree up. We will only be home for a couple of days in the next week and a half. we won't even be home until the night of Christmas Day. I don't know if we will get our tree up and decorated. It's nice to see other's trees.

You have inspired me to take pictures of my home at Christmas. Love your little village.

I just posted some of our Christmas decorations on my blog. We put lights up outside and the tree in the front window. It gives the house a nice glow!!
