Last year I finally broke down and bought "fake Christmas trees". I am the only one that liked having the real deal because of my memory of hunting trees in the woods with family. So, I decided that if I was going to do it , I would go all the way. I bought a white tree and a small silver tree that changed colors. Becca called it magical.
Becca set up the two trees while I looked for the decorations. All that I could find was the large nativity and the big white decorations that I bought in North Carolina last week. We put the white decorations on the white tree and red and white candy canes and wrapped it with a red tree scarf. The tree already had a red star on top. Becca went around the house finding angels to put under the tree with a pillow that said "I believe in angels and a glass brick wrapped with red ribbons to look like a present. We loved it.
Next, we worked on the little silver table top tree. We found Christmas earrings that I bought in bulk and did not find until too late to sell this year. We put them on the little tree. Becca put the Nativity under the tree and said that Jesus was the present. She found her birthday decoration and place it beside the tree because it is His birthday. She put a Santa behind the Nativity because he worships Jesus too. Mark found a drift wood that looked like a cross and she leaned it against the tree trunk.
Everything she did had a reason behind it and I loved the reason behind everything she did. My Christmas decoration look great. But, more important than that....she gets it.. Jesus IS the reason for the season. I never did find last years decorations......
