Lut - the simple tree you have is just beautiful! Is that the kind of tree with the roots attached so it can be planted outside?

I LOVED loooking at everyone's decorations and poured over each post. Yes - I agree that the homes look so cozy with the Christmas trees and decorations.

We have recently started using an artificial tree - but the best part is still getting out our assortment of ornaments - most homemade over the past thirty some years.
