First, I can’t believe this is the 12th day of the 12 Days of Christmas already! It seems like it flew by. This year it was really hard for me to hold off until AFTER Thanksgiving to do Christmas decorating, but I did it! I’m excited to share my tree and see what all the other beautiful trees look like today.

Buffalo Check
After many years with the same tree, we splurged on a 9-foot slim tree last year. Even though it is prelit, I still used the burlap garland I made a few years ago. It worked to fill the tree in and just added more lights.
But, the lights of half of the strand died. When I sat down to take it apart and put everything on a new strand of lights… I decided it was a sign to try something new.
Might as well forge ahead with the buffalo check I’ve got everywhere!
Because we decided to put the tree in front of the window, I did fill it in with evergreen garland before adding the ribbon.
As of now, I’m enjoying the simplicity of the tree with minimal ornaments. I’m waiting to see how long it takes the kids to decide they want to add all of our annual and travel ornaments we collect.
