I don't really miss it. We've been downsizing the whole Christmas event and now I simply put a garland around the entrance to the living room and the dining room. They already have lights on them and I put the ornaments we used to hang on the tree. Add a few knick-knacks here and there, et voilà! <br /><br />We try to create more a feeling of warmth and intimacy rather then the big fantasy Christmas showcase Hollywood and shopping malls are trying to sell us.<br /><br />I'm not saying we'll never have a tree anymore but right now, we just want to keep it as simple as possible for us.<br /><br />And yes, I do have the Christmas spirit!<br />;)<br />Hugs<br />JonDeepBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00897586779071639604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979791739376661918.post-67409977266451797092011-12-15T14:32:33.641+01:002011-12-15T14:32:33.641+01:00Jason - I know what you mean.

I saved a few that I could, but I don't really know what happened to them. <br /><br />For Partner it's a little strange. He's just happy he has his little pink angel! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15891271065457242707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979791739376661918.post-19516888489784365012011-12-15T04:50:47.413+01:002011-12-15T04:50:47.413+01:00I just love that the tree has all your partner'...I just love that the tree has all your partner's old childhood ornaments on it...I think I'd just burst into tears if I ever saw the ornaments we used to have as a kid.
