Eric and I ordered our Christmas tree!!!! Yes...ordered it...as in, we don't know what it looks like yet. But who could mess up a standard 7-foot pre-lit Christmas tree? I bought it online from Kohl's...they were having a huge sale plus I had free shipping AND a 20% off coupon. So I got my 7-foot Christmas tree I wanted for only $100! Yay :) It will be here in 2 days...pictures to come.
Anyway, I have been trying to figure out what the theme should be for our Christmas tree. I think I have come to the conclusion that we should just go to some stores and buy what we love and not really have a specific theme. Hopefully that way we can keep the ornaments for a really long time and get all excited every year when we unpack and remember each ornament and why we bought it. That is what I will miss most about not being able to decorate the Christmas tree with my family this year...remembering all of those Christmas ornaments that have been there for every Christmas I can remember and getting so excited to see them again! The one that comes to mind right now is this ornament with a cute dog laying on a red and green dog bed. It's precious. And of course we cannot forget all of the homemade ornaments we made in school and my parents still have. Love that!
So, the only real conclusion I have come to about our Christmas tree this year is that it will not, in any way, include any of the following ornaments or themes:
 |
| Ummm, who wants a creepy Christmas tree? Seriously, Halloween is over people. |
 |
| I think Eric would actually enjoy it if this was our Christmas tree theme. Sorry babe. |
 |
| No sports team is going to make it on my Christmas tree. Sorry! |
 |
| Ha. |
 |
| What is this? What ever it is supposed to be, it looks like a pile of dog poo. Not really what I want to see when I look at our Christmas tree. |
 |
| As much as a love you, Twilight, you will not be seen on our tree. |
 |
| Again, i love you oh so much, burger and fries, but sorry...no food item looks cute on a Christmas tree!!! |
 |
Really Starbucks?! As if I don't already spend enough money on you during the holidays!!! I don't need a Christmas ornament of yours staring me down and convincing me I HAVE to have a pumpkin spice latte or peppermint hot chocolate RIGHT NOW!!! Or caramel apple cider (thank you Tyler Kent for introducing these to me)...or gingerbread
latte...you get the picture.

Anyway, I am so sad I won't be able to decorate our Christmas tree at Mom and Dad's house in Oklahoma this year, but I'm excited for our first married Christmas together and starting our own Christmas traditions!
Happy Christmas decorating!
Love,
Mrs. Wise
When I undecorated after Christmas last year, I boxed up all of Eric's ornaments to send to you. But - he told me he doesn't want them. However, if you do want them, let me know. I have "Baby's First Christmas" with his picture, etc. Some are sportsy, though, and you really might not like them. The one he made in preschool is pretty cute, too. Let me know if you want them. love, Mom
