This Years Christmas Tree

I grew up with a real tree.  Several years ago, my wife decided she wanted a fake tree with the lights already on it.  Did that for several years.  Two years ago, she wanted a real tree again.  (Starting to see a pattern here)  This year she just wanted to get a little tree.  Last Christmas Santa brought the boys an air hockey table and it sits where the tree use to sit.  She covered the air hockey table and went out and found a small 4' tree for $10.  Instead of digging out all the ornaments and decoratons, the boys made ornaments this year.  Saved me a trip into the closet from hell under the steps.  Most people would look at our tree this year and laugh but I love this tree.  My dad carves us stuff each year for Christmas.  We won't be seeing them this year at Christmas since we went to Disney with them so they mailed it to us.  Perfect.  Dad carved us a folksy creche  for the tree and a couple of Santas made out of clothespins.  Excuse some of the pictures.  Wife has a little trouble sometimes.
