RE: A creative mind never sleeps | Holiday Preparations

I love Christmas with all of it's fun decorating and happy celebrating and I don't mind thinking on it any time of year.

I use to decorate a lot more than I do now, but I still do quite a bit with a tree, which right now is a vintage aluminum tree from the 60s, completed with vintage color wheel and tree turner that rotates the tree.

I stopped using real trees many years back,even though they are definitely the best kind, because I wanted to put mine up early and leave it up long after. The artificial ones have always been green till about 4 years ago when I went renegade and bought a white one, which made my colorful glass ornaments show up super nice. After two years I donated that to a charity when I purchased two vintage aluminum ones that dragged my memories back to one of my Grandmother's houses when I was growing up. She had one that only had blue shiny balls on it and the color wheel of course and I was so fascinated with it. I have used it two Christmases now.

Christmas will be different this year with covid, not sure how our family will handle it, but I've already bought two small Christmas cookie jars that I will probably use to give cookies in where the cookie jar will be part of the gift. Of that is the halfway plan for now.... it could change many times between now and then.
