3. What do you think of photo cards? I like photo cards because I can see how families grow each year.

This year I have a few small trees up, with only lights on for decoration. See photo to the left. I leave the taller tree up all year around because it goes with my living room decor.5.

ReplyDeleteI hope you had a lovely holiday.
You're last words were so true, and need to be heeded.
ReplyDeleteI didn't send out cards this year either. I love that you keep a tree up all year. One year I kept ours up until Spring (it's artificial.) We will put one up this week, just lights, as you didfor the New Year.
