  1. I love a fresh tree and yours is perfect. And OH MY GOLLY… what a fabulous idea on the wedding cake ornament! I had no idea there was such a thing. You’ll have fabulous memories for years to come.

      Aww thank you Cindy! You’re so sweet. Yes, I love our wedding cake ornament. I found an artist on Etsy who made it for us for our first anniversary. I don’t think she makes them anymore, but I’m sure there are others out there. It’s a fun way to remember our wedding day!

  2. A traditional tree tells a story doesn’t it. They bring out your sentimentality and are personally enjoyable to review the ornaments and think about the stories behind them.

    Real trees are always the best trees and yours it gorgeous.

      Aww thanks Leanna! Totally agree 🙂 Sentimentality is the best at Christmas.

  4. What a huge tree! I love it! I’m lovin the star wars ornament too. This has got me thinking. I saved all my sons Star Wars stuff in case it was worth millions one day, lol. I bet I could make some ornaments for him now that he’s older! Your tree is just beautiful! Stopping in from the hop.

  5. I just love a traditional Christmas tree. Utilizing ornaments that have personal meaning should be what it is all about, especially when you have kids in the house. I want to compliment your gorgeous tree, those branches are perfect for all your lovely ornaments!

      Aww thanks Chloe. It’s so funny because I was kind of thinking my tree “wasn’t enough” because of all the gorgeous fake trees in blogland, but I’ve been getting so many sweet compliments. It makes me realize that everyone loves decor with meaning and memories too 🙂

  7. First, your home is gorgeous! Second, that giant tree is beautiful in the middle of the home. It must feel so Christmasy in your house and smell so good. BTW – I’m in love with your stair garland too. Pinned this to my Christmas tree board.

    1. Christene Holder says:

      Thank you Erlene for your sweet words!!! And yes, it really makes it super Christmas-y in our home. It’s kind of sad when it all comes down because the tree fits so well there. I haven’t found any other “Furniture” that really fits in that space.

      Thanks for pinning too!

  8. I would love to have a real tree one year but we have dogs and that usually doesn’t mix well. Your tree is beautiful and the location in your home is indeed perfect. Visiting from the blog hop.

    1. Christene Holder says:

      Yea, sometimes animals and real trees just do not mix. But that’s ok because there are soooo many pretty faux trees now. Thanks for stopping by from the hop 🙂

  9. Your tree is beautiful and brings back memories of my mom’s trees when I was young. She bought that bushy full variety of tree but I never see them here in Texas. She also had a lovely eclectic collection of ornaments, like yours, that make a Christmas tree truly personal and authentic.

      Aww thanks Jeannee! I actually grew up in the Northeast too so I haven’t known how different areas of the country do Christmas. So up until recently I never really thought about the fact that there are areas in the country that don’t have the big full Christmas trees available. They just don’t grow in some places lol

      Hope that you are having a great week!
