I don't go for co-ordinated either. Our tree has lots of lights (less than 500 though!!) and we hang all of the decorations the lads made from as long ago as Toddler Group!Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357761230206692089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-38872303525557791672011-11-30T17:26:19.287-07:002011-11-30T17:26:19.287-07:00Loved this!

Disney couldn't make a more colorful tree!<br />Like to hear more about your Swedish traditions, Tina.Alex J.

I want to hear the Swede traditions, as one of my family strands goes back there (my dad's mom)--that and the Norwegian strand (mom's mom) are as concentrated as I am of anything. Didn't realize the tree fetching thing--we used to do that when i lived in Idaho as a kid--it is, I believe, a matter of tree to people ratio. In Idaho, there are plenty of trees and most people know someone who will let you find one on their land. The other places I've lived, not so much...because if everyone did it, there would be no trees left. (I like all those kid decorations, too--took awhile for my husband, Martha Stewart to give in, but he's come around)Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-18750413248719065162011-11-30T10:54:06.541-07:002011-11-30T10:54:06.541-07:00i miss our live tree...a couple years ago ours die...i miss our live tree...a couple years ago ours died the week before christmas and we have been artificial since...growing up i used to go to the tree farm with dad to cut one down...<br /><br />our tree is currently covered in superheroes and star wars...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-14442218207166767452011-11-30T10:51:48.943-07:002011-11-30T10:51:48.943-07:00i miss our live tree...a couple years ago ours die...i miss our live tree...a couple years ago ours died the week before christmas and we have been artificial since...used to go to the tree farm with dad to cut it down...<br /><br />our tree is def covered in super heroes and star wars...smiles.Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-17666214520150821242011-11-30T06:49:40.978-07:002011-11-30T06:49:40.978-07:00Christmas traditions?

It's awesome!Margo Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474612650116392270noreply@blogger.com
