This picture represents quite a special memory for me. The small boy being five now was desperate to get a Christmas tree AND decorate it AND put a star on top. So, uncharacteristically bowing to pressure we bought a tree and put it up much earlier than we would have done under normal circumstances.
For me this is a lovely memory. It’s the first tree me and he have decorated together. We spent time making some nice decorations to go on the tree, and we talked about some of the baubles and trinkets we were hanging which came from my childhood and his dad’s childhood trees. For us this is a Christmas tree hanging with memories, some very old, some very new, but all of them precious, to us at least.
Merry Christmas, and thanks for visiting my blog, I do appreciate it. Love and luck for 2016 x
For the past three years, we’ve started putting up the decorations as of December 1st. It’s hard to contain the kids’ excitement, isn’t it?
Really hard, but totally worth it, I’m enjoying Christmas now he’s a bit more into it 🙂
His face is full of such concentration – what a great image. #mysundayphoto
We have that same star!! Sainsbury’s right? Great family picture for the Christmas Album x #MySundayPhoto
It was from a garden centre, but I think it’s a fairly common design, he chose it 🙂
Adding the finishing touch, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Fiona xx
Lovely photo of a special memory and new tradition. It’s nice you’ve still got old childhood decorations.
Cherish these times, mine are growing out of it now, it’s hard. I decorated the tree on my lonesome, this year *sob* xx
Oh that’s so sad, makes you want to squish them tighter while you’ve got them.
A Christmas tree is so special especially when it’s showered with past memories of children’s Xmas art that was made years ago or recent attempts. Long may this new tradition last for you!

Thank you, I always loved the ancient decorations on my parents tree the best. Glad to be able to pass it down to another generation 🙂

Wonderful family tradition! <3 Have a lovely Christmas! 🙂 X #MySundayPhoto
What a lovely moment to catch on film (or should that be “on memory card”?). Love the fact the tree features so many memories. #MySundayPhoto
Aww! That is so sweet! Such a lovely moment to capture x
Lovely, Christmas memories are made of stories like this, my two used to take it in turns every year putting the star on the tree. It was a long two years for them!

What a lovely moment to capture and how lovely to be decorating the tree together. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas.
