Pat and I met in 1957. Our first Christmas together was 1957 and I gave her an engagement ring. We were married in February 1958 and our first Christmas tree was Christmas 1958. It was about 3 feet tall and looked like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree. We still have a few ornaments from that first tree on our tree this year. Over the years we've had real trees and artificial ones. We've had several sets of lights from the little ones that burned your fingers and the whole string went out when a single bulb burnt out to the ones now that came installed on the tree that we bought about 3-4 years ago. Our tree has ornaments that we have accumulated for all those years. Some are home made by our children who are now adults and have children of their own. Some were gifts from others over the years. We have just one tree and I don't know what the "theme" would be. I guess you could call it "accumulated junk" or "memories" or "pack rat" or "historical" or whatever.

What a creep!!!!

Listen, run by Hobby Lobby and pick up the tulle on a spool. It works great and it's only about $3.00 per spool. I would buy two, put them together for the thickness and thread away!

You can also buy the cheapest plastic ball ornaments and cover them in glitter to spice them up for fillers. Buy the better ones after they are on clearance.

You could also spray paint Magnolia leaves for fillers. That's always really nice.

Okay, gotta run. My spelling is getting really bad. That's means I've been on-line wayyyyy tooo long! LOL!
