(Pink and blue trees of course!) and a tree in the office with all of my husband's sports and star wars ornaments along with the hand-made ones....then in the living room we have all of the hallmark ones. We just can't get a tree big enough to fit everything! ;)A Buns Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611682053507407292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-73688453251956374252009-12-15T23:54:52.764-08:002009-12-15T23:54:52.764-08:00i have 6 trees in my home so i obviously think 2 i...i have 6 trees in my home so i obviously think 2 is a great idea lol... thanks for visiting my blog!Raquelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283644191311366458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-64820486430865411302009-12-15T12:12:19.914-08:002009-12-15T12:12:19.914-08:00Pretty tree!Pretty tree!Hollywood Farm Filmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161302689500104162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-594124952240849012009-12-10T20:13:31.155-08:002009-12-10T20:13:31.155-08:00Oh Anna - you know how I feel about my tree... Con...Oh Anna - you know how I feel about my tree... Control freak doesn't begin to cover it. Forget ugly ornaments - I have issues with placement. I had to tell Chris that he was no longer allowed to help decorate the tree - his sloppy ribbon ties and clumpy ornament arrangements got him voted off the island. I don't know what I'm going to do when the kids are old enough to help. I just don't think I can give it up... A kids' tree will be the best bet for us.Kate Coveny Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006589284938683965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-51842959449345410222009-12-07T19:27:35.732-08:002009-12-07T19:27:35.732-08:00I hope your MIL doesn't read your blog, LOL!

I love the idea of a collection commemorating special occasions, the kids crafts, etc. I'm not getting a "Chanukah bush" and I can get a bit grinchy sometimes because I don't get to do this cool holiday tradition stuff.K A B L O O E Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995547356428809262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-58309330590148557702009-12-07T16:20:44.874-08:002009-12-07T16:20:44.874-08:00I think having 2 trees is a tradition I'll hav...I think having 2 trees is a tradition I'll have to adopt once I have kids old enough to care.

I antipicate that it will be the "traditional" tree, and when we have kids, that will be their tree to decorate.<br /><br />I agree with you that it comes out of necessity, but also gives you a chance to have a "show" tree, and then one decorated with love!Pretty Little Things for Home & Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468068715388849915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-4401306248959642692009-12-06T15:28:06.414-08:002009-12-06T15:28:06.414-08:00Ha!

I didn't use to think much of it when people bought me ornaments as gifts - now I cherish it so much. Thanks for sharing a part of your family experience!<br />KiranMasala Chicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04713762033892464889noreply@blogger.com
