Let the Christmas Festivities Begin

The Christmas Season is my favorite time of year. I love everything to do with Christmas. Every year after Thanksgiving we put up the Christmas decorations and tree. It was such a fun morning decorating and watching Christmas movies. I hope that through this Holiday season I can show Connor the true meaning of Christmas.Connor helping us put up the Christmas Tree This year Connor loved to put the ornaments on the tree sometimes it takes all I have to not rearrange them especially since the ornaments are mostly were Connor could reach.

When I was growing up we lived in Oregon and my grandparents had 10 acres of Christmas Trees, so we always would go to the farm and pick out a tree for the family and I would always get a small tree for my room. It has been really hard to not have a real Christmas tree in the house. Donovan never remembers having a real tree so he is just fine with having a fake tree. We have argued this concept of real vs fake for the last few years, but now that Connor is getting older I really want him to be able to go and pick a Christmas tree and cherish some of the same memories I had as a child. So I think a couple weeks before Christmas we will go and get a real tree and let Connor decorate it how he wants. I hope my idea will work out and we will see if this will be a tradition we continue.
