Last year I put up my tree on Halloween because I was really in need of some Christmas cheer. This year I wasn't feeling very festive but I eventually decided to put my tree up the day after Thanksgiving and I put up the smaller tree in the loft last night. Now that my house is all ready for Christmas, I am starting to feel a bit merrier.
I actually really enjoy decorating my tree because I have collected all of my ornaments over the years and they all hold special memories for me. My Mom gave me all of the Hallmark Keepsake hockey ornaments, I collected quite a few from my travels (my favorites are some hand-carved wooden ornaments from a Christmas store in Germany), I have some from popular culture (such as my Kylo Ren and Harry Potter ornaments), and I've recently started collecting them from musical theatre performances (my newest ornament is from Frozen).
Last year, in a fit of madness, I decided to get another tree for the loft and I enjoyed it so much I decided to put it up again this year. I spend a lot of time in the loft reading so this is a nice addition to my holiday decorations.
Note: Do you have more than one tree? I used to think it was crazy to have more than one!
