And that's ok. We know what really matters.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12845791643848422911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428262663623493707.post-2775181771046966712008-12-05T20:28:00.000-05:002008-12-05T20:28:00.000-05:00LOL girl you're crazy!LOL girl you're crazy!Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01742619542367946642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428262663623493707.post-11205228575764572392008-12-05T20:09:00.000-05:002008-12-05T20:09:00.000-05:00lol-love your tree pt!your mom has made it through...lol-love your tree pt!<BR/><BR/>your mom has made it through and is living her life celebrating Christmas the way she really loves to! that is wonderful.<BR/><BR/>i used to buy live trees, but i had a house dog that thought he was a human-dashound-his name was pablo. i loved pablo!<BR/><BR/>so he would basically attack the tree! and i alsohave baseboard heat in my house and it would dry that thing out in one night--i was always ading water to it-=<BR/>all that time i still tried to maintain a live tree.<BR/>then i had my daughter and when she became a walking 9 month old and wanted to 'hug' the tree....well, that ended the live tree life for us.<BR/><BR/>i have also bought an evergreen that was potted. i liked that--but something happened and it died...lol<BR/><BR/>so we use an artificial one. with lights already attatched! life saver!!<BR/><BR/>my gma did not like live trees i came to learn because of the needles falling. clean freak.<BR/><BR/>and she had a silver tree-fashion awareness. growing up i thought that was the norm for a while! lolololo<BR/>but my mom would rotate between live and artificial.<BR/><BR/>and as far as the large amount of gifts that we have bought for our girls. that has ended adn we are not going to suffer--it is a learning and teaching time in humbleness and growth.<BR/>and thankfulness that we have HAD in the past Christmas times.<BR/><BR/>we are giving away bags of their old toys to a local church program.<BR/>and their old shoes and clothing.<BR/>not old as in undesireable-but gently and med worn.<BR/>shoot, the way these girls are growing--there is no time to wear anything out--they outgrow it first!<BR/>lolwisdomteachesmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04064324322310160672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428262663623493707.post-32377101853788250252008-12-05T14:31:00.001-05:002008-12-05T14:31:00.001-05:00Girl, please tell me that's not really your Christ...Girl, please tell me that's not really your Christmas twig.
