I love Christmas!!! I always have. I loved helping Mom & Dad decorate the house and dragging out old memories. I would help Dad with the tree lights and re-arrange the Nativity scene all season. I try and carry-on the memories with my kids. These are some of my favorite Christmas "things" in my house.

The first picture is our new ornament St. Nick brought this year - he must have known we were in Jackson Hole this summer.
The second picture is not very good but it is a cross stitch I did the year I was pregnant with Sadie.
Third is my box of Christmas Cards. The last card I got was from Kelley Moyer - those are her 2 kiddos. I love getting the cards, And people w/out kids should send pictures too - any event that happened during the year.
Fourth is the kids tree.
Fifth is the living room tree.

We have 2 trees b/c when we had an apartment we only had room for a skinny one. The kids decorate that one all by themselves, lights and all. It sits in the family room and on that tree is all of the homemade ornaments and the St. Nick ornaments the kids get in their stockings every year. The other tree is in the living room.

Beautiful! Thanks to everyone for posting their Christmas Trees! I feel like I've been to your house for a visit!

This was just great. I love getting Christmas cards also. And I hope more people will take your suggestion about the pictures. And all the trees are so pretty. I loved being to 'visit' your house and see what is decorated. Maybe I will do a walking tour of our house also. I once wanted to be able to replace all the pictures on our walls with Christmas ones. I am almost there thanks to the Christmas wall quilts I love to make.
