We finally put up our Christmas trees. We usually have some friends and family over for a little tree-trimming party, but this year the holidays snuck up on us, so it was just Brent and I, which actually turned out to be really great.
We do two trees. First, the one we call the "mall tree." It has all matching ornaments, and looks like the kind you see in malls.
Then, the "homey tree." It has all the sentimental ornaments that we have collected each year, the ones I've made, and ones we have been given by others. It's also the tree that we bought our first year of marriage in Rhode Island.
Brent built a fire for us, and after we decorated the trees, we sat by the fire. Brent read from a book we have on Christmas traditons to me, and we just sat and talked, and enjoyed each other. It was one of the best holiday experiences that I've had in a long time. What a surprise blessing!
