As stated earlier this holiday season, on the 3rd day of Christmas my favorite and arguably the most important decoration for this holiday is the Christmas tree. After all, we make room for it in our living rooms. We decorate it to the max until it practically glows. We stuff wrapped presents underneath it. It’s the focal point of any Christmas celebration.
That being said, there’s a lot of work that goes into it: picking one out(whether it be fake or real), finding all the ornaments, making space for all of them on the tree. It can be both fun and exhausting. In years past, I never took much part in the decorating of the tree, what with my mom always moving the ornaments I hung to different places. Haha!
However, this year was a little different. Partly because I don’t live with my mother and partly because it’s a fake tree, which holds even heavy ornaments. I also did quite a bit of it on my own. My brother and his wife were busy with the garland, and the outdoor lights. So, I took to placing ornaments on the tree while Christmas movies played in the background and it was one of the most relaxing and fun tree decorating periods I can remember. (Probably because I actually helped. :p)
The best part was that it was completely set up within a couple of hours. :p As much as I love preparing for the holiday season, sometimes it’s nice just to be able to sit back and relax and enjoy it all, which was easily done with another Christmas movie in the glow of a beautifully decorated tree.

How do you decorate your Christmas tree? Do you have special ornaments you have to put up every year? Who gets to put the tree on top?

I recorded it for the kids and they just looked at me and walked out of the room.
