This Christmas, we didn't go the traditional route and buy a tree, nor did we even set up our artificial tree. Why bother when we already have a live tree?
It's a 21 year-old grapefruit tree my mother started from seed when we were little kids. Festive, isn't it? :^D
Hey, we don't live in southern California, but we can pretend.
Heee.

I think it would have helped if we grew up here, but those places can be pretty hard to find. My family just always had the artificial tree. I liked it. Simple. Even had acorns with wire, so it looked a little better. And then where was always me and my sister to decorate the tree. Not so much anymore, but the thought is still there. Plus all our ornaments.
But the part that I love about Christmas the most? Giving stuff to people. And not even on Christmas day. I just use the season in general to give people things... Gotta love it.
