Christmas tree fun

I have fond childhood memories of going to the local hardware store "Chubby & Tubby" to select a fresh Christmas tree each year. We are carrying on the tradition at our local Home Depot. Not quite as adventurous as cutting your own, but maybe simple is better at this stage of life with small kids. The boys were bubbling over with anticipation of the annual event. They were even excited to help hang the ornaments, which was a first this year. The decorating process was a little crazy, but I let them hang as much as they could without help. I hope they will will look back on these Christmas traditions as delightful memories, and most of all I hope they remember Jesus being the focus of our Christmas activities! In a few days we will start the Advent wreath readings and candle lighting.
