C is for

Christ, Christmas and

this time of year in our house

it is for compromise!

For as much as Mr. PC and I

are on the same page, read

each others mind and finish

each others sentences, some things

we are as different as night and day!

Mr. PC would like his christmas tree

to look like this:

Large fresh tree, with colored lights,

all different color ornaments, garland

and tinsel.

I would like my tree to look like this:

a nice slim fake tree

with white lights, ribbons and matching

ornaments only in two colors.

How do we make it work you ask?

I get mad break all the ornamets that do not match

and call it day!

Maybe not, but I did drop this one and
Mr. PC was able to fix it!



We start with a real tree and add
only clear lights!

For the ornaments we use
some that have lots of meaning,
some that are just cute, some the remind us
of friends and family far away!
One for our first Christmas
as husband and wife!

One that reminds Mr. PC

of his hometown.

One for each of the kid's

first Christmas

Some to show support

for the teams that we love!

Some that we made with the kids!

Some that are from family

that make us smile!

Some that are gifts to our kids

that fill our heart with joy!

Some to make us smile

and remind us just how

much we love each other.

Some that are now a tradition!

I buy Mr. PC one each year

from one of his teams!

Some to make you laugh

Some to make you stop and think

just what Christmas is all about!

This is our small little tree!

Yes, I can call it small.

It is only about 6ft tall and in the past

our trees were around 11ft tall.
The top third is all

ornaments that hold a meaning, the

next third are all of the glass ones we got

in red and gold (before kids)

and the bottom third

are all plastic red ones that I got

for a photo shoot with the Diva.

We use them to keep me

from going crazy and worrying

about the kids breaking the ornaments!


That is how we mix our

two ideas of how a tree should look!
