Our annual tradition (if you can call it that) has been to make hot cocoa and decorate the Christmas tree while we listen to some beautiful classical Christmas renditions. J. hauled the tree up from the basement for me and, while it's been much too warm outside to stir up the cocoa cravings, we still had a good time decorating. My other tradition has been to buy or create one new ornament every year and I think this is the first year that I haven't gone out on my annual ornament hunt. I am having a hard time getting in the holiday spirit - possibly because of the weather or maybe it's the economy that has everybody down. But the tree always helps my mood and I think it is beautiful. Someday, *crossing my fingers*, we will throw away this fake tree and replace it with one grown on our farm.
