So, want to see our tree??? (which was supposed to be blogged about over a week ago - as part of the countdown) ...
Well, it was going to be a glorious looking tree from Halis's land in Lagrange ... picked out by Halis and Isaac ... a father/son day of searching out the perfect tree ... then cutting it down together ... while searching out some moose and deer ... then enjoying some hot cocoa later by a campfire ... etc...
Instead, Halis told me --- at the final hour I might add --- that the search for the glorious tree never happened. So, Mommy found a tree in our backyard. The only tree that would fit into our house ... which also happened to be the saddest looking tree we have ever put up. I could have cut it down with a kitchen knife. See how the lovely star --- which is virtually weightless --- hangs from the tree like the infamous Charlie Brown evergreen? Yes. Hmmmm....
But we did our best to make it look pretty. And ... I actually love it. :)
And it was free. Not even the cost of gas. How is that for part of our frugal Christmas ;)How was your tree? Show me a picture.
And Merry Christmas ... a bit belated ... but just as heartfelt.
xoxo
Jodi & family

That is a pretty cute little tree!
The message of the Charlie Brown Christmas tree is exactly the same as what you represent <3 I have always wanted a Charlie Brown tree, ever since I saw an artificial one in a department store. Adorable!
We're in the middle of a move so we had a metallic blue, 4 ft, pre-lit tree that we set up for a while & even plugged it in a few times : )
Down at my husband's family, they had so much holiday decor, it made up for the weeks leading up to it at our house : )
