O Christmas Tree

Our rather large tree, who takes up so much of the corner, but is so pretty, so we'll forgive him for being a beast.
He was handpicked by Audra and Jamie, and cut down with love. I love having a real tree. The house smelt so nice when he first came in.
It is a hodge podge of ornaments, and it's always so much fun decorating. Remembering where they all came from. Christmas is all about memories right?

And my beautiful Christmas cactus is in full bloom. I bought it so many years ago, and it was tiny. It had a few forced flowers on it, I think to make you want to take it home, and then for years never bloomed again. But for some reason it loves the bay window and blooms regularly now. A few times a year at least. It's always so pretty to see.
My mom has my Babcia's and I can't even even remember how old it is now. It's huge and crazy and I know many people have gotten cuttings from it to have their own plant. Which is kinda neat. Passing the plant along.
