Merry Xmas and I agree, I still do somethings that my parents did when I was young, but Ive enjoyed my real tree for a few years, now don't know why I ever picked the fake one! I did learn this year, not to buy Douglas fir even tho it's sooo pretty and if you must buy it, put it on a floor that isn't covered in carpet. :)Hey Monkey Butthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03876011642278169652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236407486623416961.post-59990179090908897722010-12-20T18:32:36.022-05:002010-12-20T18:32:36.022-05:00What wonderful memories - and what great tradition...What wonderful memories - and what great traditions you are carrying on for your children!! I think my favorite Christmas memory/tradition was when we would go to midnight mass - not that I am much of a churchgoer now, but the mass was always so beautiful and made it REALLY feel like Christmas. We only had a real tree one year that I remember - and never again after that because I remember picking pine needles out of the carpet for six months after! For that very reason, I have always stuck with fake trees - plus, there is something heartbreaking to me to see all of the discarded trees after Christmas. I'd rather have a permanent Christmas tree in my yard year round and string it with lights at Christmas. Great post - and Merry Christmas to you!!The Reckmonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846718419590267145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236407486623416961.post-80614088077520954522010-12-20T13:41:21.516-05:002010-12-20T13:41:21.516-05:00Love this post!!!!!

I g...I think traditions are what you make of them. I grew up with a fake tree, and didn't know any different for the first chunk of my life since we had the SAME fake tree until we moved when I was fifteen and my parents didn't feel like taking it with them. As rebellion, I bought a real tree my first few years living alone, but we went back to fake when I started dating my wife. <br /><br />Since we left Wisconsin, I've been lazy and it's been a fight to get me to decorate the house. We're always traveling back home to visit family, so nobody ever sees the decorations. I'm an old grinch, and all I see is the work involved to take everything back down. But I secretly enjoy it immensely once it's up.<br /><br />I am one of the five people worldwide who enjoys fruitcake, and will make it myself if nobody gifts me any. I love the candied fruit that isn't really fruit anymore. <br /><br />(Oh, I also miss our real fireplace from the house in Wisconsin. It's the only thing I'd change about our house here in Ohio.) <br /><br />A merry merry to you.Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623810021177960310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236407486623416961.post-91358642166226557632010-12-20T02:37:12.052-05:002010-12-20T02:37:12.052-05:00I've never been kissed under the mistletoe eit...I've never been kissed under the mistletoe either. I have been kissed at midnight on NYE, though. I remember one particularly good NYE in my 20s, I totally made out with a random EXCEPTIONALLY HOT dude at midnight.
