This Christmas is completely different from last Christmas, and thank heavens it is. Not that last Christmas was terrible (how can Christmas be bad?) but lets just say we have made some progression. Last year Brock and I bought those tiny little minature trees and decorated them with lights and little chains we made out of paper. This year we have a new and improved REAL TREE !!! with lights and even Christmas ornaments. Now it is far from the "perfect tree" but still it is good. When we went to buy ornaments i wanted to do like a silver and blue and decorate it all cute. the whole time we were in the store Brock kept asking if blue and silver were christmas colors.... I had to kindly explain to him that Christmas trees dont have to be docorated in "christmas colors" they just needed to look cute. even after our christmas tree 101 course brock still kept saying things like- well are you sure you dont want a little red on it. AND FINALLY...... Haili I dont want to have a BYU christmas tree. OH BOY !!!! So i said ok well do you want to put some red ornaments on it too, or how about a big red bow on top, or just some red ribbon. -the red ribbon was the winner. so when you see the picture of our Christmas tree please do not judge because in our house we do not discriminate between BYU and UofU. they are both represented in our home. (hence the ugly red ribbon that messed up my blue and silver) I never knew that decorating your christmas tree could be such a hassel. Next year I hope to do better. (and i have learned my lesson to not pick BYU or Utah colors) maybe i will just stick with a silver and gold option.
