Oh Christmas Tree!

This is our Christmas tree this year.  Sure won't take long to un-decorate and put it away.  That is what I hate about Christmas the most.  It's fun to put it all up and see it again after a year but no one wants the job of taking it all down and packing it away.  That's why some people keep their Christmas up for months on end...ha.  Mine has to all be down before New Years.  This little "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree will do just fine for our tree.  We don't have grand children who come to Oona and Papa's house for Christmas.  Of course there would be a big, real tree then.  


Charlie and Lucy adds to the decorations  


If there is a lot  or just a little, decorations in our house, the "Blomberg Christmas Bowl" will always be on our coffee table.  It is something from my child hood and it just means " Christmas" to me.  It must be filled with German chocolates and the candles will be lit on Christmas Eve. 

It's fun to have Christmas Tea to go with our German goodies.   The tea cups belonged to Chuck's Mom.  The tea pot says " Brambly Pines".



I will miss the pretties on the coffee table after Christmas but they will be used again next year.  You can bet they will all be washed and put away, the day after Christmas.  It's my tradition.  ...(smiling)
