Blogmas Day 8- My Christmas Tree!

Hello readers!

Today's post is a tour of my Christmas tree!

I actually got a new tree this year. Previously I had been using a super cheap tree I picked up from Walmart many years ago when I first started dating Ethan. Now I have a huge fake tree I got from Costco that takes like 5 minutes to set up and has its own lights.

It's a 6 ft tree, the lights can either be warm white or colorful however I am VERY MUCH not a fan of colorful lights on my tree. I'd rather have them outside and even then, meh.

We have also switched from a tree skirt to a tree cuff. I have had a tree skirt for the last couple of years and I always hate how dingy and gross and curled up it constantly gets. Especially with two dogs and a cat, all of the "needles" that fall off the tree, ugh it wasn't worth it. The cuff is so much nicer because it hides the bottom but I don't have to mess with it, like ever.

My husband, Ethan, has always been a fan of toy trains. He has a pretty decent collection from when he was a kid. I got him a Hogwarts express one year for Christmas, so every few years we end up putting it under the tree. This year we didn't get around to it, but I also didn't get around to finding a topper either. 

As I mentioned in a previous post, my husband and I have a tradition of picking up new ornaments every year. I have some filler ornaments over the years, but most of them are mis-matched that we have collected.

These are my favorite ornaments:

 The bulbs are ones I DIY'd after I receive some similar with our wedding invitations in them. The Hunter Snowman is actually my brothers. We have two that are a cowboy & cowgirl.
The felt red gondola with the star is one I bought from work. We have a few fabric ornaments so this one tied in nicely.
The hedgehogs were a gift from my MIL the year we got married. We had hedgehogs on our cake. By the time you are seeing this post, they have broken and I had to try to find a replacement.
The dalla horse I bought because one of my favorite books as a kid was from Jan Brett had one in the story. I picked this one up at World Market a few years ago and I just got a copy of Christmas Trolls from amazon.
