The past couple of weeks have been extra busy.
But they were fun too, and things are slowing down for me a little.
I take my last college final of the semester today and should finish up all other college stuff by the end of the week.
yea!
Then I start back on Jan. 16….but I digress….
I enjoyed the 12 Days Of Christmas Tour and the Christmas Craft Tour.
I hope you guys did too.
The 12 Days Of Christmas Tour continues through tomorrow and I can’t wait to see the upcoming tours!
I promised more photos of my tree and I’ve probably taken at least 100 photos of the tree trying to get some decent shots.
I need a professional photographer on call.
That would be really nice 
I think I mentioned in my home tour post that we purchased a new tree this year.
Our last tree was probably 10 years old and the pre-strung lights were slowly dying.
The tree was white flocked and had clear lights. I loved that tree.
At our home there is always a debate about the Christmas tree lights.
It seems the guys and the kids (ok, the guys are kids) like the multi-color lights and the ladies of the house like the clear lights.
Well we made everyone happy this year because our tree has both options.
The tree has clear lights and multi-color lights and they alternate every few seconds between the two…..or you can set it to show only clear lights…..or set it for only multi-color lights……awesome!
We have the switch set so the lights alternate.
I have to admit I do like the multi-color lights.
It kind-of looks like a Mardi Gras tree doesn’t it!
And I like the clear lights.
What type of Christmas tree lights do you like the best?
You can leave me a little note below. I love hearing from you.

I go both ways with the lights too, mixing both clear and colored lights. My family has done it on and off since 1995. This year, I did the mix by taking a couple strings of clear lights and switching out every other bulb with a colored bulb from a set that stopped working. They look really nice on our new slim 6-foot tree. One of these years, I would like to do the steady multi-colored lights with a string of clear multi-function lights. My aunt did that one year, and it looked so beautiful.

I do both lights also. Tree comes with multi colored lights and I add a string of white lights that have 8 different light patterns. It is really pretty when lite up.
Jill says
Lovely trees. We live in a 100+ yr old home and don’t have an open space for a tree. An antique organ takes up the space that we used when our children were small. Any suggestions?
Andrea says
I like the your tree just the way you have it!!! I like the option of having both kinds of lights on it, too. Hope I can find a good tree like yours, and yes, we don’t have our tree yet.
Good thing, because you’ve inspired me…I am ready now!
Vicki Brawley says
Your tree is gorgeous! I love the beaded garland draped from the branches. It is very vintage looking and not over the top like many of the trees i have seen on blogs this year. Merry Christmas,
