We decided not to get a big tree this year since we will be traveling this holiday season and it's one less expense. Ben's family always hangs some of their ornaments from their ceiling so we decided to carry on that tradition. I Love it...I can't even describe how happy it makes me when I walk into the living room.
Check out the lights in this picture...crazy! The girls have LOVED playing with all of the nativities.
We went to Wal-mart to get a baby Jesus ornament for the center of our ceiling and I was shocked(and a little upset) that they didn't have one ornament that had anything to do with Jesus in fact they didn't have anything with Jesus on it. What has happened to our world? Ben and I went home and read the Christmas story to our girls and we had a long talk about why we celebrate Christmas. We will be talking about the true meaning of Christmas or reading books about it everyday this Christmas season so our family doesn't forget the true reason for the season.
Just so you know...We think Santa is great he is joyful and kind however I think Jesus is the ultimate example of kindness and Joy and I wish the world would remember that he is the best part of Christmas.

You are right--absolutely right. And I LOVE your decorations. I think Monday is going to be decorating day for us. :) Yay!
Love your decorations. Love the lights. Love how you jump in and decorate as soon as possible. I wish I could be more like you. More specifically I wish I could get out of bed. Ruth
