Breaking Tradition...

Yes, this year we actually broke a tradition I have done all my life...(well to the best of my knowledge, memory...whatever...) We actually put up the Christams tree before my birthday. My mom always put it up after my birthday, so my family could celebrate my birthday instead of it being overlooked/overshadowed by Christmas...she knew what that was like cuz her birthday was the 29th of Dec.
Why??? you ask...because I know how much it meant to my lil dd...she was so excited...
Dh bought us a new tree this year...it is fuller than any of the other artificial trees we've had in the past. He always says when I put up the tree it looks layered...yeah, whatever...and when he puts it up it doesn't look like that...yeah, right...(it's the tree, not me) We even got a new star and some new ornaments...I wish we would have bought them the day after Christmas...I wonder if I can take my receipt in then???
