Tradition

No, I'm not doing a post about Fiddler on the Roof! I'm talking about Christmas Tradition. I think the reason I love Christmas so much is because of the traditions! My family has some great ones, and it makes Christmas so fun. Well the Pierson's have a tradition of going to the Festival of Trees every year to buy a tree on the Tuesday before it opens to the public. I LOVE this tradition. It is so fun to go look at all of the creative trees and other Christmas decor. Well this year Angie is decorating a tree to donate! I told her I would help her, and I haven't been able to because of school and work but on Wednesday we are going down to Kaysville and I am going to help her. She has bought some really cute things for it and the tree is going to be called "The Christmas Spot" and it is going to have a theme of polka dots. Not too crazy but she has cute round ornaments, circle beads for garland, and presents wrapped in cute polka dot wrapping. I will have to do a post about it when it is finished. So last year they actually ended up with two trees, and they have so many trees from past years, that I'm not sure if they will actually buy one this year. But it is always fun to go down, and this year we will be watching to see if anyone bids on Angie's tree! They should cause it will be super cute. She is so creative and crafty, I love it!

Here is one of the trees they bought last year! I loved how it was traditional with red and green, but also kind of modern with the berries at the top of the tree and the funky ornaments.

Clark put up Christmas Lights at the Apartments again this year! Last year he made a "tree of lights" out on the building and it looked so good. He did it again this year, and I can't wait until December to turn them on. We are sticklers about waiting until December to turn on lights and decorate. Don't get me wrong I LOVE Christmas and all the decorations, I just like waiting. Plus with school I'm too busy to do it before Thanksgiving anyway. I'm also sad I no longer work at Pier One. I was looking at some of their Christmas stuff and it is cute! Clark is glad I don't work there because I bought way too much stuff. But I'm feeling the need to buy a new Christmas decoration... I might need to stop at Tai Pan or Pier One soon!
