Now before you go bashing my Christmas tree, let me tell you the story of how we got a sort of skimpy looking tree. 16 years ago, my parents moved into the house we live in now. They planted trees in the backyard intending for those trees to someday be our Christmas tree, so this is one of them! My parents have these cute little traditions like cutting down a tree from our backyard which I think makes it all the more special. Plus, it smells great! I hate fake trees. They are just ugly and stupid and they're for lazy people. Alright well this morning I was up at around 8 o'clock to decorate this! I believe that every ornament we own should be on the tree, so I found a place for every single one. I also strung some lights and pearls to make it look pretty. I also assembled the nativity scene because my parents always say we should never forget the true meaning of Christmas. By the time this was all done, it was about 10. Exhausted, I knew one more thing had to be done. The train tracks! If you look to the bottom of the tree, there's a little train on a little track we put up every year and I think it's adorable. Hope the tree doesn't tip over this year! Haha!

I think that is a great and very sentimental tradition! I agree; there is something wonderful about a real tree. Luciano loved the train!
