The Tree is Up

We got our Christmas tree(s) up for the year.  We have had a lovely 7 foot artificial tree...I won't go into the pros and cons of real vs artificial...for the past few years and really love it.  This year, because our living room ceilings are so grand, we decided to purchase a larger tree.  I found a sweet deal on craigslist and the minute Todd got home from work we started putting it up.

But I'm sentimental, especially around the holidays.  I couldn't NOT put up my sweet old tree. So we made room for it in the family room and put it up too.  I love to stand in the kitchen where, if I crane my neck just right, I can see both trees at once.  The tall one is beautiful with a perfectly coordinating set of new ornaments.  The old one is covered in a lifetime collection of ornaments, each with a story and a memory behind it. If I had to choose a favorite I couldn't do it.  I guess they're like people...you make room for the good ones in your life.
