This year Thanksgiving fell late into the month of November and rather than my kids asking if we could put up our Christmas Tree, they were getting upset with how early other people were decorating for Christmas. That was when I realized, without even trying, that my family had a set of rules or traditions when it comes to our Christmas Tree:
The first rule of the Christmas Tree is that it doesn't go up til after Thanksgiving. This is a non-compromise rule. And to tell you the truth, we usually don't put up our tree til after Advent has started and sometime not til the first or second weekend in December. We just got our tree up and decorated yesterday and we'll keep it up through the 12 Days of Christmas.
The second rule of the Christmas Tree is that it must be real. Lucky for us, we have a couple Christmas Tree Farms in less than 10 miles from our house. We traditionally get our tree from one and get or even make real wreathes from the other.

After you get the tree home it is time to decorate! There is no real rhyme or reason to our tree and in fact, I leave it all up to the kids to decorate. If I decorate with the kids I get too frustrated and stressed over how it can take them five times to get an ornament to stay on the tree, or how they cluster 10 ornaments in one spot and then have a hole with none. So, I let them do it all while listening to them talk and laugh with each other from the kitchen, usually making a pot of soup or a batch of Christmas Cookies.
I have no preference when it comes to Christmas lights but have grown to love the classic white, since we have such a variety of ornaments on our tree. I have never understood Christmas trees that have a theme or color scheme. At our house, we have a hodge podge of ornaments collected from vacations, school crafts and gifts.
Our last rule of the Christmas Tree is to enjoy it! We have a tradition of putting on our new Christmas pajamas the night we put up the tree and listen to Christmas music or watch a Christmas movie under the lights. Our kids usually request at least one night of sleeping under the Christmas tree too.
Do you have any Christmas Tree rules or traditions?
Great "rules!" Enjoy you holiday season, Val!

ReplyDeleteImage result for why christmas tree is a symbol of christmas
ReplyDeleteEarly Romans used evergreens to decorate their temples at the festival of Saturnalia, while ancient Egyptians used green palm rushes as part of their worship of the god Ra. So the idea of bringing evergreens into the house started there and eventually that evolved into the Christmas tree.

Long before the advent of Christmas—and even before the birth of Christ—ancient civilizations embraced evergreen boughs, wreaths and garlands as symbols of eternal life amid the darkest days of the winter solstice. From these pagan roots sprouted the modern Christmas tree. www.treeloppinggoldcoastqld.com/
