I have just finished dressing my Christmas Tree 🎄



The throw everything at it look and hopefully no two baubles the same - except some exceptional 1950's ones where more than one is worth it

You are right. I buy a new bauble every year - so next year a train. I will have a full set by the time this pandemic is done.

However....looking closely at yours,
I have doubles with yours. Love that.
And kinda weird.

It’s like, do you ever see someone with the same purse as yours. Or on the beach no o e had the same bathing suit. That’s always been a mystery to me.

Pura Vida as we say here

Feliz Navidad

You have inspired me, Soph. I wasn't going to put up my tree this year, but your lovely tree lifts my spirits so much that I will be putting it up tomorrow!

Thank you for such a gorgeous photo! I love your tree!

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Happy Christmas to you!

I bought a fake tree and new ornaments to put up in my new house even though I am alone. Got rid of almost all my Christmas decorations when I moved to an apartment several years ago. I've been enjoying the sparkle every night.
