TUESDAY'S TIP: O TANNENBAUM!

So last year after Christmas my in-laws decided to give away their tree and get a pre-lit tree, so lucky us, we inherited their old one! Score! The only problem is, it's HUGE! Which is great, but since we've only been a family for about 7 years, we don't really have all that many ornaments. And since I didn't have a whole lot of money to spend on decorations this year, (I bought a few strands of garland from target, a couple boxes of jingle bell ornaments and lights) so I decided to improvise. And improvise I did. I decided to fill in the gaps with some Christmas cards from last year. And then as they have been arriving all month, we've been replacing them.

And I absolutely love it. Not only do they fill in the gaps well, but every time I look at the tree I am reminded of what Christmas is really all about. The birth of Christ, love, families, and all our wonderful blessings (friends & family). We are truly are seriously so blessed (ha, ha, I know).



Hope you are all having a fabulous Christmas Eve Eve!
