We were just going to skip getting a real tree or putting up
our big fake tree this year since we were going to be moving on December 20th. The rental house was so tiny that we honestly
didn’t have room for a big tree and who wants to set it up just to take it down
again to move and then set up again at the new house. Well Maggie asked just about every single
day, starting after Thanksgiving, about when we were going to get our big
tree. Susie and I eventually felt bad
enough and decided the kids needed a tree.
After school one day I took the kids to Home Depot and let them pick out
a 3’ pre-lit tree. No assembly
required. Maggie wanted a big light up
star for the top and a box of bells to hang on it. Both kids loved the tree and looked at it every
day, even though there wasn’t much to look at.
We had 3 ornaments on it, (the 3 new ones we bought this year—1 for each
kid and a family one…it’s a tradition), bells, and star on top. Once we moved me set it up at the new house
too.

Maggie was very proud of the color changing star
