IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!

I'll admit my zeal for

Christmas decorating

had waned. My sons

had moved out and I

have no grandchildren.

I was shopping on Black

Friday a  few years ago.

I saw a 6 ft lighted

Christmas tree marked

down to $7.00. I thought

this must be a mistake!

This was an offer I couldn't

refuse. I rushed to the 

register with last marked 

down tree.  I got home 

with my tree and realized 

that I had no ornaments

to go on this tree. I had

donated all of them to a 

Thrift Store.

My recent Christmas 

decorations were a wreath 

on my doors.

I have a tip for Empty 

Nesters and Seniors 

living alone. Decorate a

tree for your own pleasure.

I could afford to splurge 

on Christmas since I'm retired and my children

were grown and gone!! 

I could spend 

money collecting expensive

ornaments and other 

Christmas tree accessories.

I have always loved 

theme Christmas trees. 

There is a garden nursery

nearby that displays

beautiful themed Christmas

trees. I even saw a sock

monkey themed tree

one year. 

Here are some images 

of Christmas theme trees

that I'm using for 

inspiration:
