i just love christmas and all that it holds.......this year i've gone plain with a splash of green.......
and our little tradition for zeke is every year he gets an ornament that hangs on the tree and when he leaves home, he'll have is own collection.....however not sure at 18 or so if he'd like that, but its a cute tradition for now....his first one above is a nz tiki, then an orange ball
and this year a star.........so many posts at the moment about christmas and i love reading everyones little traditions.....as you can see this year we have white twigs {this is the 3rd time we have used this option} because we are going back to nz in a few days, it's a little bit silly buying a tree etc if were not gonna be here.....
i just wondered who else has a real tree???? i was over at melli's design and noticed a real tree but most others don't.........we always get a real tree too {poor greg with hayfever} i'd love to know your preference and why!!!!!!! i have hummed and harred about getting a fake one {because of the hayfever}

We have a fake tree but I would love a real one! A friend got one last week and it smells divine. Must admit, even tho I'm originally from NZ I haven't seen a tiki quite like that before - very cute. Michelle
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely tradition Lisa, I love the idea of adding a new decoration each year. We have a fake tree. I can only remember us having a real tree once when I was little and for some reason I associate real trees with a lot of mess! I think the smell would be wonderful though. xx
ReplyDeleteThat Tiki is really gorgeous and I love your tradition, and we do the same. So we've a lot of cheap and cheerful and a few "good" ones we are collecting. Having only a 2 & 4 year old means they are in the minority, but we'll get there, year by year! :)
ReplyDeleteWe have a fake tree but last year and this year I've been doing the twigs in the vase option so that Will doesn't pull the 6footer down on top of himself :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's a lovely tradition you've set up, so sweet! And I like your 'big smile' comment :)

ReplyDeleteThe tiki deccy is great! I love Christmas traditions but have to admit to not having any (I think. Maybe I do without realising).
ReplyDeleteWe have a fake tree. I've always felt sorry for the poor little trees being cut down :)
