My family has an outstanding Christmas tree. It's a 12 foot tall tree that came with the house because lets face it, only certain houses can contain a 12 foot tree. I love our tree so much, especially because we center it in front of the living room windows which have a street backing up to it. When we drive home, you can see the tree lit up. The only problem with a 12 foot tree is that you need a 12 foot ladder. This also means it takes FOREVER to decorate. Usually there are four people decorating our tree but this year my dad was working and my brother felt like Xbox was more important (story of his life). Decorating the tree took my mom and I around two hours.

It looks crooked in the picture but it really isn't, I was trying to avoid my family members being in the picture

Favorite Ornaments:

The Radio City Rockettes Ornament

"What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more." -Dr. Seuss

Santa stuffed in a phone booth with reindeer

I really don't know why I like this one so much, but I really like the mouse and the pattern

"Merry Christmas Charlie Brown." I love Charlie Brown so much!!

The triathlete inside me has to love this one

Frosty the Snowman and the Snow Baby, what could be more sweet??

I loved, loved, loved Arthur growing up, this has to be a top ornament

I think this is adorable, and my dad is a firefighter

I used to always make up stories about the chipmunk/squirrel inside the teacup ornament. There was a little home with a Christmas tree inside.

It's a little difficult to see but there it is

Another childhood favorite, this Barbie had a "twin" but it unfortunately broke. Again, I created stories about the Barbie and what events she would be attending.

The last is also difficult to see but my grandpa made it, it's a fire truck for my dad

 I will continue to showcase some of my favorite ornaments throughout the season!
