To tell you the truth, I had absolutely no intention of putting the effort into putting up a Christmas tree this year. But when my mother told me she would be sending me multiple boxes full of Christmas ornaments, I couldn’t help but get excited about getting a little into the Christmas spirit.
You see, it has been a tradition since I was born to receive an ornament or two every year in my stocking. So, as you can imagine, I have quite the collection of ornaments. My mother was finally letting me have my ornaments for my very own tree!
Now, I foolishly expected to receive every single ornament I’d ever been given, but I’m not sure what cause me to be so delusional, because I knew there was no way my mother would give up every roller coaster, Harry Potter, Disney Princess & other cool ornaments that were rightfully mine. I knew she’d only send the ones she could stand to part with, in order to keep her trees (yes, trees… she has multiple…) fully stocked and wonderful.
Thus, I received all the rejects. I got ONE Harry Potter ornament, about half of the Disney Princesses, all the Veggie Tales and quite the array of very strange (though, admittedly cool) antique ornaments from my grandparent’s collection. Oh, and did you know my grandfather had his own business of a bird aviary? Yup. So… he had a thing for birds. Thus, I received numerous bird ornaments.
And the best thing of all!? The tree-topper. Umm… What IS this thing?! Haha…Once all put together, my tree was laden with Disney Princesses, funky birds & Bob & Larry. My tree may be funny looking, but I love it!
