Last year we decided we were having a real Christmas tree from now on. We said this, and even gave our fake tree away so we didn't have a choice but to buy a real one. When we did this we didn't take into account that we would have a 8 month old baby this Christmas. Not only do we have an 8 month old baby, but this baby is insistent on climbing and pulling herself up on everything. A Christmas tree would be an ouchy to climb, and a bigger ouchy if it fell over on her. On top of the danger of a tree, we cannot put the wrapped presents in arms reach because she will unwrap them. So here is what we decided to do.
Our presents and tree are on the wall behind our couch.
Our Christmas tree is a 32" fiber optic fake tree.
But our stockings are where they belong.
Bella was a little disappointed that Santa wouldn't have a big enough tree to put our presents under, but after I reminded her that we weren't spending Christmas at home she was okay. After all Grandma has a big enough tree for all of her kids and her grandkids presents!
And Santa's been going to that house for so long, he could find it blindfolded!
