We are having an extremely low income holiday season! I wasn't going to live without a tree, so I went outside and pulled a big branch from the burn pile. Chris and I put it in a bucket filled with gravel, strung it with lights, Willow and I decorated it, and I put a silver tree skirt over the bucket portion. Weirdest tree I have ever had! ...but it's ours, and it's fun and colorful. Willow is thoroughly impressed. That's what really matters...her being happy and families doing things together. I know it's totally weird, but it was done with love. The things we do to get through tough times...
When Chris's grandmother passed away, just recently, we inherited this beautiful creation. It's made with all kinds of brooches and other pieces of jewelry. It has lights that actually work (I was surprised) and I am very proud to be displaying something like this in our home. So I guess we are blessed with two non-traditional trees!
I hope your Yule is wonderful, no matter how much money you have. There are always ways to get by...
