Oh, Christmas Tree

For the last 4 Christmas' we have had the simplest of Christmas trees. It would consist of tinsel, lights and red and white bows out of ribbon. It was super easy, cheap and it looked halfway decent. But this year, I finally have a Christmas tree I can be proud of. And one that I love.

Most of the decorations are from Denmark (from our several trips there over the last 3 years). We have a Royal Copenhagen ornament (we consider that the gem of the tree). We also have these beautiful red glass stars. We also got a lot of metal ornaments of different variety like a bell, rocking horse and little Danish boys and girls. We bought these delicate red cut-out balls that I just love and of course to add some shine: cheap silver balls and red bows.

One more think I love about my tree are these little circle and square frame ornaments I got from Target. Pottery Barn sold them for $12 a piece and I loved the idea of adding frame ornaments each year and keeping pictures in them of Christmas' past. But I wasn't going to spend that much. But of course, leave it to wonderful Target to have cuter ones for more than half the price. Perfect, it made the tree that much better. Also, not pictured in my tree are about 12 elegant silver glitter snowflakes I picked up at Target too. Four for $.99. They add even more sparkle to our tree!

So, there you have it... a tour of our Christmas tree! Hope you enjoyed it!
