This year I had a burst of energy. I put up four trees. Well, really three and a half. You've seen two of them already in former posts but I'm going to gather them all together for this one. The main tree, in my primary living room is the one above. It stands about seven and a half feet tall and has more ornaments than any tree in the house.
I love this tree. I love looking at it all hours of the day. If it wouldn't make me a weirdo, I'd keep the thing up all year. Right now I'm the only one up in the house, all the other lights are off, and this tree is shining and shimmering and sparkling and I LOVE it.
The second tree is in our second living room. It's a skinny tree, about six feet tall. This one houses all my childhood ornaments (that made it this far) and many of the ornaments my mother had on some of her trees over the years. It feels very retro. If it had colored lights, it'd really be like when I was a kid. This tree holds memories.
The third tree was gifted to me by my friend Kim. It's about two feet tall and sits on a small table in my bedroom. I like it. It's simple. And at night, it's like a pretty little nightlight. The tiny stained glass house next to it was made by my step-father, Frank. That's there all year round and another little memory.
The last tree is the one in my kitchen. This came about when we somehow wound up with an extra tree (maybe one of my mother's?) and the red theme was inspired by the picture of Murtagh, who is a very prominent character in the kitchen. He's the first thing you see when you walk in.
Ed and I will be hitting the sales after the holiday is over so I'm sure I'll find a good deal on something. I can't wait!
Buona vigilia di Natale!
