As told in my previous post, Zach and I have three trees in our house this year.  I find it ironic that we didn’t have a single tree last year, and now we have triple the amount.  When Zach asked if I wanted him to put up Christmas lights this year, I told him not worry about it.  So maybe that means that next year we will look like the house from Chevy Chase’s Christmas Vacation?  We’ll see.

Basically it came down to this:  there are so many beautiful Christmas trees out there and I couldn’t decide which one I wanted.  So I did a formal tree in the front living room of our home, which my boss has nicknamed “Fancy Dancer”.  Zach was worried when I pulled out giant gold sticks and hung ornaments from gold chain…but he has acclimated to the tree now.  I feel as though I was pressured by society to do a fancy tree.  Which led to my DIY decorating of trees.

Naturally, Zach and I are more modern, so hence came our third “tree”.  Zach’s mom used to decorate a San Francisco 49er themed tree for him when he was young, and this year I made him a tree of his very own.  It has been nicknamed “The Aviatior”.  I guess it’s not really a “tree”, but Zach loves it.

It’s got his planes, helicopters, and skateboards (because you technically can fly on a skateboard).  Not only are we all tree’d out this year, but we also have stockings!  Yes, last year I just laid stuff near the fireplace that was meant to go in our stockings.

They are kinda weird, but so are we…so it fits pretty perfectly.  AND…we are actually sending out Christmas cards this year (for the very first time in the three years we have been married).  So for us, this Christmas is pretty legit already.
