The Reason

For Thanksgiving we went to MT. It was a fun trip. I love my family so Stinking much and I love getting to see them! We always draw names in my family for Christmas presents, Sharlo had my name this year and she got us a little nativity set! I love it too much! Savana is constantly holding and/or sucking one one of the little characters. She loves it! I dread Christmas being over because I don't want to take away her sweet toys! I did not set up our Christmas tree* until about a week ago so our little nativity was our only Christmas decoration for quite a while. We had a FHE where we told Savana about all the little people and read the scripture about them, it was great! It really kept the true meaning of Christmas in our home. Thanks Sharlo!!

You may have noticed the * I added by Christmas tree...this is there for a purpose. You know in advertising people use this constantly by words! It kind of bugs me...ok a lot bugs me! Because they want you to get one picture or thought in your mind that is better than what they really have but use it because they don't want to get busted for false advertising!

Anyway, the reason I used it....I say "tree" but the little 1 foot tall (more like a bush) "tree" I have just gets pulled out of a box and plugged in. It is prelit and predecorated. It is great! I have it out every year. It will forever be my little friend. I really love my little tree* :)

However I look forward to next year when I get a real, live, pine-smelling, needle-shedding tree! That needs lights stranded on it and decorations added. Taller than one foot! :)
