There is not much going on our Christmas tree this year. I have decided to keep quality over quantity, choosig (or making) handmade over store-bought. So far our collection is very small, but fortunately, Christmas lights really do it for me.
We’ve also decided to keep the artificial tree for now. As much as I love the smell of pine needles(and sweeping the floor a hundred times a day) I am not sure if I can justify cutting down a tree, decorating it and then tossing it after two weeks.
What about you? Do you prefer a real tree or a fake one? And are you making any Christmas ornaments this year?
It’s always hard to get your kids to smile for holiday photos, isn’t it?
While I love natural trees over artificial, I would go the artificial route for the same reasons as you - it just seems wasteful to do otherwise.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't even bother with a tree....it would just be asking for trouble with 6 birds, including one who has a strong inclination to find all electrical cords... ;)
what a photogenic kitty!
ReplyDeleteI love the 2nd one with it's ears down :D
Your cats have naturally hilarious expressions...they could be staring into oblivion and it's just insanely funny!
ReplyDeleteI have had an artificial tree for 4 years now and I love it. A little floofing and it's good to go. I sometime light a pine candle nearby...:)
haha, that's how I feel about taking pictures of my dog :) Lovely photos, we don't have our tree yet but Christmas lights really do it for me too!
ReplyDeleteLoving these shots of your lights and kitty.
ReplyDeleteI prefer a real tree but I just inherited a fake silver tree, from the 1960s, with green ornaments and green floodlight, so it's a fake one this year. I can't put lights on it, but plan to put them around the house in other places.
Happy holidays!
These are great shots! I love the twinkly lights and such cute photos of your cat!
