Oh Christmas Tree

When we bought out house - I loved that it had a formal living room, I called it my Christmas tree room. It took a few years before I got it all decorated, but now that it is done I think one of my very favorite things to do this time of year is sit there and enjoy my tree. It's just a little tree, and it's fake - I know a real tree is so much better, I don't disagree. Someday we'll do the real tree thing, but this was easier this year. We added a little extra height to it, so that Peanut can only reach the bottom where I have jingle bells and stuff she is constantly ooh-ing over. Anyway there is nothing better than snuggling up in a blanket with something warm to drink, (Tangent: vanilla steamers - that's also a favorite, not so much the hot cocoa; Officer goes for the spiced cider) all the lights out except for the tree and enjoying the stillness.
