Tis the season!!!

When my kids were young, I had all these ideas of how we would laugh and bond while decorating the tree with some Christmas movie playing in the background. Well, year after year, it would start that way, then would turn into a fight. The boys would go upstairs and Jessika and I would finish the tree not speaking to each other. Last year when I put up my tree alone with no kids around, it fell over 2 days later... I cleaned it up and put everthing away and didn't have a tree. I HATE putting the tree up, not decorating it,,, but the actually putting the tree together and getting the lights on. My hands hurt thinking about it! Maybe it is from working 10 years in a craft store and fluffing trees till my hands would bleed??? Now that my kids are grown and I have nobody to fight with... I had to get creative. So I just took this little tree I have in my guest bedroom and put some TW colored stuff on it... but I felt like it needed more with this tiny tree in a big room. So, I designed and cut these vinyl decorations and simply applied them to the wall. I think it turned out so cute!!! Well, except for you can see where my son made a hole in the wall and it never got finished being patched up from several years ago!! lol
