12 Days of Christmas Traditions: Ornament Tree

Our tree of choice is an ornament tree with white lights! I love, love, love the look of fancy theme trees, and I have 2 in our house--a snowflake theme tree in the kitchen and a rustic lodge woodland themed tree in our family room. The living room however is our family tree. We have gotten a new ornament each year of our marriage and given the younglings an ornament each year too. I usually try to pick something that represents our year: an event, an accomplishment, a trip, whatever. My mom also does the same so we have quite the ornament collection.

 

We have so many we probably need to get a tree with more tips. Right now, they're triple hung. But we love the memories that are evoked by every single one.
