Our Christmas Tree At Night

Below is our Christmas tree that we just barely put up yesterday, and because i was so excited to show it to everybody, i took a snap of it right away and posted it on my facebook. Most of my friends liked it, like i do. A very simple Christmas tree, yet it looks elegant.

But, i just remembered to put the ribbons lastnight, and hubby helped me to wrapped it around the tree. This is the most beautiful Christmas tree i put up ever! The last few years, it wasn't that good because i let my first born child decorate it himself. As you can expect, kids love to have it colorful, the colorful the tree is, the beautiful it is in their eyes. But this year, i told him that it's mommy's turn to decide what to put on the tree so it'll look a lot nicer. He's a good kid and just agreed with me without a fuss or whining. So here's the final look of our tree, it's more beautiful at night, don't you think? hehe, love my own, i know :D

Our Beautiful Christmas Tree Is Up!

I finally got our Christmas tree up. It made me so mad lastnight because i already put it up and put the lights with it but unfortunately, the tree stand got broken. It's probably because it is already old, in fact the tree is a lot older than our kids. But the tree is still good, just the stand. I was so frustrated lastnight, could not even think what to do with the tree which is leaning on the couch.

Good thing there was some good friends who suggested what to do. They gave me excellent ideas on how to put up a tree using an alternative tree stand. Luckily, we have an aluminum bucket and i filled it with big rocks and put the tree stand in it. And i am so happy that tree stood still. I told hubby about it to find me some rocks to fill the bucket but he was still snoring when i got up and decided to just do it by myself. So after i put up the tree with the help of my eldest, we then also put the orbs and some other decorations with it. And here's our beautiful Christmas tree now! It's combined with gold and silver color. A very simple Christmas tree, yet very elegant looking as well :D
