Well the tree is still up!

I had 2 trees this year and 1 is still up. It is a special tree. My son is a Senior in high school and I made a tree with his school colors and mascot. It is a tigers tree with orange and black ornaments, stuffed tigers, orange nerf footballs and sports ornaments. I have a stuffed tiger on top with a Santa hat and scarf.I hate taking it down because I wont have the ornaments to put on it again because they will be passed on to another Senior next year. What a tradition!!

I actually kinda go thru a "downer time" once the tree and all the house decorations are removed. I absoutley love the look in the house w/ the lighted tree and all the festivites of color splashed all over. It's a warm and fuzzy feeling and then BAM! it's over. Silly I know, but I can't help but feel a little loss when it's all gone.

It's the new year and I still miss turning the tree lights on each morning. All those "twinkle" lights gone.

I don't decorate for any other holiday so Christmas is a biggy to me.

One year my Mom kept the tree up so long I took it down...I was 17. It was March 27th and the reason I remmber that is cause My hubby took me roller skating that night and asked me to be his girl friend. He was my first boy friend (and only one) and I was his first. We are married 25 years.... Bet no one can beat March 27th!!!! Any one?

I knew a lady who got a flocked tree one year and liked it so much she left it up for several years. There was even an article in our local paper about her and the tree. I haven't see her in years or heard anything about the tree. I thought this was so wierd. I can't imagine how she kept it clean. The dust must have been horrible!!
