My sister and I split the ornaments in half and there’s still more than enough for each of us to decorate our own trees! It’s 15 years later and that’s still the tree that my husband and I put up, along with half of the ornaments (and of course a few new ones).
It was a lot of money for us since we were both still students, but it made us SO HAPPY. There wasn’t an empty branch on the whole tree by the time we were done! We were so proud of our tree that we called up my parents, and even our grandparents, and invited them over for dinner that night, just so they could admire our very first Christmas tree. It was the first time we were let loose down that sparkly Christmas aisle, and we fell in love with everything we saw. And I mean TONS of ornaments (and lights for that matter…). You just want to buy everything? (It can’t just be me who feels that way?) When I was in university, my sister and I shared a townhouse and the first Christmas we spent there together, we went to the hardware store and bought a Christmas tree, tinsel and tons of ornaments to put on it. You know that excited feeling you get when you walk down the Christmas aisle and it’s Just.
