Much pleasure thou can’st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can’st give me.
Welcome to Week 3 of the Holiday Open House!
It’s time to show off those fabulous Christmas trees!
If you have more than one tree, then show them all off!
I can’t wait to see them!
I have showed you glimpses of mine but would you like to take a closer look?
I’ll show you some of my favorite ornaments and the other things that adorn our tree.
Here is a view of our whole tree.
I have a red tree skirt under it. I think it is Martha Stewart.

I’m totally drawing a blank on the name of this thing. It is normally just a table top decoration but there is the perfect sized hole on the bottom of it to slip onto the top of my tree.
I wrapped the tree in two different Silver ribbons. The first is this ribbon that I have had for a few years now and it is Martha Stewart. Love the silver, glittery swirls.
The next ribbon is this shiny dot ribbon. It really bounces the light around and off the tree.
I made these Tree picks this year and they add a little dimension to the tree.
Tutorial coming up for these!
On to the ornaments:

It is blue and orange but the blue pretty much overtook the orange.

My little Noel Santa was a gift from my Aunt when I was younger. She would give my sister and I an ornament every year with our gift.

This is the ornament I got from her in 2008. I love the unique little trees. There is a single tree on the back of it as well.


It actually came from Cracker Barrel Restaurant (they have awesome Christmas decor in their Country Store).

This was a gift from my aunt growing up and he is still one of my favorites.

We got married in January and one of our wedding colors was Chartreuse so she thought it worked well for our wedding ornament without literally being a “First Married Christmas” ornament.

Perfect saying for the season!


I also got this one from a friend in high school.

So that’s my tree!
I can’t wait to see yours now.
Just a reminder that next week is the Last Holiday Open House and it is your Outdoor decor!

December 15, 2010 at 7:15 pmI came to you via Linda of Coastal Charm's Party. Your tree is beautiful, but the best part is that each ornament has a special meaning for you. I've done the same thing for many years and it makes decorating for the holidays even more fun and meaningful.
I read that you're an Army wife, so I'd like to give a special Christmas thanks to you and your hubby for all you do to serve and protect our country. My nephew just came home from Iraq last week, just in time to share his son's first Christmas with him.
Bless our troops!
