Christmas has always held a special place in my heart, perhaps because it was the day I was born, but more likely because of the feelings that come from the festivities this time of year. Growing up, the weeks leading up to Christmas, still today are some of my best childhood memories and decorating the family tree is one of my fondest. Last year, we opted not to have a tree at our house, because we were not going to be home Christmas morning, and in retrospect, I am so glad we did it that way. It made this year’s tree setup even more special, by being the first in our new house. So with the Christmas music blaring, and the girls hopped up on way more excitement then anyone should have in those little bodies, we lovingly put up our brand new tree this week.
