Usually we would take it down this weekend, but this year we got a new tree and it is just gorgeous. I haven't grown tired of it yet. Our old tree was MUCH larger and took up too much room; I was always ready to get it out of the way. This one is trimmer, better for the space, and just really pretty. We've been using our fireplace quite a bit these last few weeks, and there's just something about a fireplace and a Christmas tree . . .
