We also had our first tree. We hosted Christmas dinner this year, and wanted it to be special because Carlos' parents and brother were able to join us. The kids got everything from Transformers robots to easels and books to helicopters.
Even the cats got into the spirit of decorating (or, rather, undoing the decorating)... They loved the garland. We loved it too, for the first day. Now, it has found a new use -- outside decorating our window frames where it doesn't matter if the needles drop.
We forced paperwhites and amaryllis. Even though it was blustery outside, it was verdant and warm inside.
