Our Very First Christmas Tree

Christmas is just around the corner. And no Christmas is perfect without a Christmas tree to boast right? Even Mr. Bean knows how important it is to have a huge Christmas tree to liven up the festive joy huh. Even though yours truly is not a disciple of Jesus, I love Christmas as well. The merry mood and jolly spirit that come with it make Christmas such a heart-warming festival to celebrate. Besides Chinese New Year, Christmas is the best festival on earth. Ha :D

Our Christmas tree and ornaments.

It is almost impossible for me to put a real Christmas tree in my home. That is why my wife and I opted for a more accommodating plastic Christmas tree to put in the main hall of our home. We bought it for RM20 (US$6). It was pretty small too, standing at around 4 feet tall I guess. The "mainframe" of the Christmas tree was made of iron, so it is pretty easy to be bent to resemble the branches of a Christmas tree. 5 minutes is all you need and voila you have your very own Christmas tree. :)

Ok, it's time to "plant" our Christmas tree. :D

While I was trying to unfurl our Christmas Tree, my daughter came to "help".

She was playing with the baubles.

Because they look like her toy balls. :)

My little "kepo" (busybody) daughter. :p

After we had "erected" our Christmas tree, it was time to decorate it with some ornaments that we had bought. A bit of hanging decorations would make our Christmas tree more lively and attractive. So usually we will have baubles, bells, santa claus, drums and of course a glittering star at the summit of our Christmas tree. And ouh yeah....I almost forget, we need beautiful stocking as well. If not where would Santa stuff our gifts right? :)

Let's start with the most important star at the top shall we?

My wifey helped me to put up the decorations.

Beautiful baubles.

More hanging decorations.
Any idea what those on the top right called?

Snowman Stockings for my babies.

For wifey-I am sure Santa won't miss this stocking!

As you could see, after putting up the decorations our little Jasmine girl began to grab them or pull them down. Can't be helped I guess. She was just too attracted by those shiny, jiggly decorations especially the baubles. Ha :D Let's see if all the hanging Christmas decorations will survive till Christmas. We had a fun time putting up our Christmas Tree. Hopefully we will make it a yearly affair to celebrate Christmas. :)

Jasmine wanted to play with the handing decorations.

A~ha you are caught red-handed!

So have you put up your Christmas Tree?
