I am at the age now where I feel the need to simplify my life. I no longer have as much energy or desire to "deck the halls" of my house as much as I have in the past. My back issues make it painful and difficult to devote that kind of time to decorating.
Last December, after Christmas, I decided to give away our large Christmas tree in exchange for a smaller, easier to decorate, tree. I thought I might regret that decision after we gave our tree to Kyle and Emily, but I don't at all!
This new 5' tree was so much easier for me to decorate! I have never liked decorating Christmas trees, so we plan store it after Christmas without removing the decorations, if possible, so I can easily use it next year. I Love this new plan!
Christmas is supposed to be a joyous time of year. By minimizing my decorating, it is making my Christmas season much more enjoyable. For that I am grateful!
