It is so hard to believe it is coming so fast! I spent Sunday and today Christmas shopping and got some great deals and had ALOT of fun! I love finding what I feel is the perfect gift. I wanted to share our Christmas tree!!! We have it in the morning room, that is the only spot it would fit:):) The ceiling in here is peaked so it fits well here and I love that I can see it from the hall, the living room and the kitchen.  The skirt is a velvet center with an embroidered edge. I have done this red and gold theme for several years. I have too much invested to change it!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwyTxTqGrdprqy8nArGSl5kxRGR889B0kBX0rS556MAxiPU7U11aop0CZIr2tqASNIKzt-MesJwcmQaf76IcAf5_buPYwHT9YQqxIxcaM_J5fBu3DKcbPAJXSOyu5fJjiOwFQuvh-1BKc/s1600/Christmas+Tree,+2012+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwyTxTqGrdprqy8nArGSl5kxRGR889B0kBX0rS556MAxiPU7U11aop0CZIr2tqASNIKzt-MesJwcmQaf76IcAf5_buPYwHT9YQqxIxcaM_J5fBu3DKcbPAJXSOyu5fJjiOwFQuvh-1BKc/s640/Christmas+Tree,+2012+002.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp8V1aBHaZPVGJclaRVXfhw3fWaoesnWEPKKAv_Uft7A7nciI87iGXH2t5RBeIc8VqSd_MjutpF6ioBzeDstIEJZoqMOusz-ORLuCPqUs3XXbiWCpw7zIm8lkcb_9_98-Cq6nNmHtH4uI/s1600/Christmas+Tree,+2012+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp8V1aBHaZPVGJclaRVXfhw3fWaoesnWEPKKAv_Uft7A7nciI87iGXH2t5RBeIc8VqSd_MjutpF6ioBzeDstIEJZoqMOusz-ORLuCPqUs3XXbiWCpw7zIm8lkcb_9_98-Cq6nNmHtH4uI/s640/Christmas+Tree,+2012+003.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The poinsettia ornaments were found at LOWES!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiopfYHXksN-pdHQ4VmJvCh5IxGDHDei1carJEoQaT80W5yyEGPbB88DhmvXxS-hmwguu2uVh4zCdElTSyNEcwB6Q2LcUGQWKHT633mbX9e2yLgvqx3D10TTAtaWLVOVt7WTmntZF95UXU/s1600/Christmas+Tree,+2012+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiopfYHXksN-pdHQ4VmJvCh5IxGDHDei1carJEoQaT80W5yyEGPbB88DhmvXxS-hmwguu2uVh4zCdElTSyNEcwB6Q2LcUGQWKHT633mbX9e2yLgvqx3D10TTAtaWLVOVt7WTmntZF95UXU/s640/Christmas+Tree,+2012+005.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I LOVE bling and these ornaments are full of bling!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSrRu2F3mDW_cXON-M9BOY3ETn3F3_QdDG9DvcsOjozY4OikW35JUoZuyEGYpKybwo1i9q30EPChPn-RrUyv3mSI3gXnLCyYZQG8PV1ifOOe0kC8Avi8ymBbEpCq3UZRWXZpoyzyHk5LE/s1600/Christmas+Tree,+2012+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSrRu2F3mDW_cXON-M9BOY3ETn3F3_QdDG9DvcsOjozY4OikW35JUoZuyEGYpKybwo1i9q30EPChPn-RrUyv3mSI3gXnLCyYZQG8PV1ifOOe0kC8Avi8ymBbEpCq3UZRWXZpoyzyHk5LE/s640/Christmas+Tree,+2012+007.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> Here are some tips for decorating your tree.
