Stopped believing in Santa Claus? Sitting in a grade school classroom (second or third? ) & everyone was laughing about someone who still believed! I didn't say anything but I did, too! It dawned on me that my parents had been lying to me, I was crushed, not that Santa wasn't real but that I couldn't believe my parents anymore. Aww that is sad... just remember, they weren't lying cause he is real!   How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? Modern and new, or older and traditional? |

Not only do I believe in Santa I look a bit like him but The Elf on the Shelf is also real. I looked like Puck when I was very small. I think they're related. |

Modern and new, or older and traditional?Candles in small brass holders, fresh red roses, a few German hand-blown glass ornaments (hearts,) Ostheimer wooden stars, little pine cones with a little glitter, small gingermen sprinkled with coarse sugar, these gold tinselly poufs from Germany, red silk ribbons tied in bows, and the star from St. Petersburg that my great-grandmother left to me. |

Beautiful Joey,  Would love to see pictures Mine is more old fashioned than modern I guess. No glass ornaments, mostly hand made from small shops or things given to me by friends and family. Not necessarily old, but sentimental. |

I think that is the loveliest decoration scheme I have ever heard...esp. love the fresh red roses. |

Oh I am sure they wouldn't mind you sharing a picture of this tree. When was the last time you had a really good laugh? |
