Now that we have a little one, Nate and I decided to buy a Christmas tree and decorate the place up a bit. This is the first time we have done so in our 10+ years together. If you divide the population into two groups: Those who say Ho Ho Ho and those who say Bah Humbug this time of year, well Nate and I have always been in the later. Of course a baby changes your life and this year we actually caught a bit of the Ho Ho Hos. So we started a family tradition of decorating a tree at Christmas time.
Our place is small so we got a 4 ft. pre-lit tree and put it on the computer table. The placement turns out to be perfect . The tree sits just to the right and a bit above Evelyn's swing. As it turns out our little sensation seeker loves Christmas lights. And when I say love, I mean love. No matter her mood the sight of Christmas lights cheer her up. I have caught her sitting in her swing moving her arms and legs about babbling up at them as if their twinkle was created just for her. Those lights have saved my sanity more then once and as I type this now Evy is reaching up to the lights as she drifts in and out of sleep.
So Nate and I have made the only decision two rational adults can make, The Christmas tree is staying...

How sweet that Evelyn loves the lights! She's a little light herself isn't she? I hope you guys had a wonderful holiday! :-)
I, too, like to have lights up and on in the house. I think the dogs could care less, but I have put nearly everything else Christmas back in a storage box - however the tree will stay, at least for a little while. I am glad you are no longer Bah-humbug. I get that way when I think about the commercialism of the holiday. This year was actually one of my better years. I know you enjoyed your holiday, especially having Evy as a member of your family!
