O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How long til my child rips off your ornaments?
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
You pose a great temptation.
My best are made of precious glass,
They stay in their box, I fear a crash.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How long til my child rips off your ornaments?
We decorated our Christmas tree tonight while Nana kept Hannah safe (and out of the way) for us. We didn't put up a Christmas tree last year because we knew that we'd be traveling to Taiwan over the holidays, and who wants to put down a Christmas tree when you're jet lagged and home with a new baby? Not us! You can tell that Kevin helped me decorate by the ornament that has the prime spot at the very tip top of the tree. Can you tell what it is???
When Nana brought Hannah home, we videotaped her reaction with hopes that she'd be excited and would oooh and ahhh at the lights. She likes looking at it, but she's a little afraid of it so far and doesn't want to go anywhere near it right now. Her ball rolled underneath the tree tonight and she cried until I fished it out. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that the Christmas tree trepidation won't last, and we'll find ornaments scattered about in a few days. I didn't put any of my favorite German glass ornaments on this year, except for the pickle. Gotta have a pickle!
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Christmas tree. It's been awhile since I visited your blog ( we are in the process of moving and haven't had highspeed internet since May) but I am back and look forward to catching up. Little Hannah is so adorable..She's growing up so fast as our kids are. Enjoy every minute because before you know it they are 14 years old...ekkkk.
ReplyDeleteI had to take my glasses off to get a better look at this tree. It's GORGEOUS! Happy 1st Christmas at home with Hannah!
ReplyDeletePS Might have to steal your tree decorating ideas. :-)
My guess on the ornament is a Star Wars Storm Trooper with a guitar??? Unlikely, but still my guess!!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness... that tree is beautiful. I have kid beautiful trees now. All ornaments are usually made by them or are their favorite small toy stuffed in the tree somewhere. It's all their's anyways right!? =0) Merry Christmas!!!! Happy Thanksgiving. P.s. Thanks for not making me the only one to stuff giant beautiful flowers in the tree!
ReplyDeleteLove the decor!! And your creative "O Christmas Tree" lyrics. The ornament in the prime spot looks like Luke Skywalker, or maybe I'm mixing up the characters. . .but definitely a Star Wars dude.
ReplyDeleteOohhh.... a Storm Trooper! And I know what you mean about the glass ornaments. They are just now reappearing on our tree. But the German pickle has always been there.
ReplyDelete'Oh bloggy friend, Oh bloggy friend, how clever is this po(OH)ST! Oh bloggy friend, Oh bloggy friend, more clever tha'an Mo(OH)st! :)

Wow! That's a a breathtakingly beautiful tree! We put ours up early too (day after Halloween) but haven't decorated it yet. I love how you've picked the pretty colors of autumn. Nice!

Awesome tree and you are so talented with your Jingle Mix! I'm sitting here working on a second verse about Hannah getting braver...
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job!

Such a beautiful tree Sarah....I miss my designer tree days. We put ours up last night and this year it was a two fold give in by me. With a curious little crawler we cut the bottom of the tree up above his head level so it looks like it's standing on something (weird) and then I had to hold back and let ornaments be placed willy nilly by Keeva...this was very hard. I'll live vicariously through your tree this year:)
