Last evening I finally got my tree up !! Had all of my house decorated before Thanksgiving , just had the tree left to do ! My daughter encouraged me to get it up , because my granddaughter would love to have it up , she is 14 months old , she loves there tree ( she actually goes up to it and stretches her arms open and is "hugging" the tree !) , so here it is ! I use a lot of the same ornaments from all the previous years and it is sad , I create things , but my ornaments on my tree are all purchased or a lot of them have been gifts . If you see little tiny crochet baskets in white , my mom crochet those several years ago when she was still able to do that . I have a lot of them on the tree, some years I have filled them with florals , ect ! I still use the gold , which I would love to change to silver ... sometime !Also the icicles a friend made from beads , a little shimmer. I definitely do not go overboard !!! My tree is along a wall in my living room that is painted a chocolate brown , and that is a cupboard door in the way , sorry ... it is what my tv sits in and I should of closed it for the photo! 
We are having a major blizzard at the moment , will be getting a ton of snow dumped on us and cold beyond anything !
Hope everyone is safe and warm !
