Our eclectic Christmas tree
Cuckoo!
What a beautiful weekend!
I have not been able to enjoy any outdoor activities in the sunshine due to a daughter who has been feeling ill but we could still enjoy it through the windows:)
We did take the opportunity though to squeeze in some extra Christmas spirit while anyhow indoors so first on our list was the Christmas tree.
Our christmas tree always end up looking as the world does.
Different colours, shapes and origins come together in the tree but in this case in peace. ( might have been some fighting before ending up in the tree due to different individual tastes but when finally hanging there it's quiet)
All of the kids except the oldest one ,who leaves that to the younger generation, has their own idea of how a Christmas tree should be dressed.
And what kind of mom would I be not accepting or allowing their dream to come as close as it can to be fulfilled no matter how chaotic it will end up looking.
It is very entertaining listening to their arguments, their ideas and their approvals.
They want to try their own thing but still want it to work with the rest so there are many changes before the final look.
And maybe it's not the most estethical Christmas tree out there but its not so important.
It is still the inside that counts and our tree was built of blood, sweat and tears, teamwork, a common dream and with a glimpse of their own future reflected in the glimmering balls.
Kids, love and an eclectic Christmas tree.
How beautiful is that?!
