Starting Our Own Christmas Traditions


This year we did Christmas with just the two of us to start our own traditions together. We picked out a beautiful tree in early December. After trying a few lots with little success (one lot had a four foot tree that was practically naked for $60!), we finally found the perfect one at Lowe's. After we purchased the tree we came across two problems. First, we had Michael's Focus and we were a little doubtful if the tree would fit in the car. Second, we didn't have a tree stand and Lowe's ran out of them earlier in the day. So, we crammed the tree in the car, which took a lot of patience, and we started our hunt to find a tree stand. A while later we found a stand and excitedly hurried home to put up our tree (the excitement was delayed a little by the three flights of stairs standing between us and our apartment). The rest of the evening we enjoyed listening to Christmas music and decorating our tree.

My favorite part of the evening was how my Michael was making me laugh by the way he dances.

Of course, we have to include a picture of us kissing by the tree! Santa was kind enough to take the picture for us. Thanks Santa!!
