Once upon a time I had a beautiful Christmas tree with twinkling, white lights and coordinating blue and silver trinkets.
Once upon a time I had a beautiful Christmas tree with twinkling, white lights and coordinating red and gold baubles.
Then I had children.
Now I have a Christmas tree with blinking, multi-colored lights and more kid-made paraphernalia than you can shake a candy cane at.
The truth is, my beautiful Douglas Fir is now kind of ugly. And I wouldn't trade it for the world.
We might have to compromise on the dozen inflatable monstrosities in our yard though. A mom can only take so much.
