Oh Christmas Tree...

Sunday after church hubby and I went to our storage unit and got our

Christmas decorations out.  We were there with a lot of other folks doing the same

thing, which just goes to prove...my next life, I'm going to own a storage

facility in Hawaii! Money maker for sure!

In previous years, the Adams girls that lived across the street from

us always came over and put the tree skirt down for us, since it involved

climbing around on the floor.  This year hubby had to do it (after saying we 

didn't really need it).

I started collecting the "Honolulu City Lights" ornaments years ago. Every

year there is a different theme to them and this year it was the

Hokule'a and the World Wide Voyage.  I think this is one of

my favorites.

We have a lot of these glass ornaments that are so pretty

sparkle in the lights.

palm trees and surfers are some of my favorites

 we still have 1 ornament from our very first Christmas tree

in Corona del Mar, 48 Christmases ago.

the gold paint inside is chipped and it's not very shiny, but

we love it just the same.

here she is all completed.  

love this tall, thin tree.  Just the right size!

still put garland on our tree (just gave up the tinsel when we moved here)

We don't have a real tree anymore...it's just too hot and besides we aren't actually

here on Christmas so this is much easier not to worry about a dry tree.

As soon as we got her up and turned out the lights, it felt like Christmas!
