Our Christmas Tree!


Well, I got the tree today and just now put up the last of the lights! And though you can barely tell what's on top with this photo, we have the first decoration as well. It's an angel!

I'm guessing my folks and sis with her kids will put up the decorations, though my mom is satisfied with the lights! When it's daylight, she'll change her mind, lol!

This year I replaced all the old lights with brand new LED's and they look great imo. They seem brighter than the old ones and the best part being they are not as hot and use much less energy, so perfect for the electric bill!

Though it's hard to tell in the pic, there are 3 sizes of LED's. We have the small lights like the tiny garden type lights, a slightly larger one called C4 and lastly the equivalent sized C7, which are the only white lights in the tree. I normally use the C7 size to fill the inside glow of the tree to add a little more depth and glow which helps fill out the tree from the inside.

Daycation indoors this Saturday night with the kids! We'll be sleeping by the tree with the fireplace on, having Abuelita's hot chocolate, pan dulce and some Christmas movie we have yet to decide on! Woohoo! The Christmas season is officially here for us!
