Seven years ago I bought my current tree which is slim and prelit, but the lights are worn out, so my daughter and son-in-law put about four strands of lights on it this year. I have been given so many decorations there are not enough branches to hang them all up, but I do enjoy seeing the ones that got hung and remembering who gave them to me or made them for me, or where I purchased them. For nearly 35 years I have topped our tree using a star I stitched on big needlepoint canvas with bulky off white yarn while my youngest son was getting well in the hospital. I never thought of using a bow as you have done so cleverly. Have you ever made angels from white paper plates that have a ruffled edge? I used them as decorations for many years on our tree, but finally discarded them due to wear and tear. I need to look on line and see if I can find the pattern again :) Happy Christmas!Gracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744390000319622278.post-45385081366466242592015-12-03T16:53:14.431-05:002015-12-03T16:53:14.431-05:00Hi!!!

My favorite part of a Christmas tree is the lights. I tell my husband every year I just want to do lights, no ornaments (at least once)...but he doesn't listen, LOL! Maybe once the kids are gone... We get a real Christmas tree every year because my husband loves the smell of them, so since he wants the real thing, he doesn't complain about putting them on; and he usually has to use about 4 strands!
