- Do you put up a tree and when? If not, how do you celebrate? We usually put up our tree Thanksgiving weekend. I prefer the fresh smell of a real tree. Each year we choose a different theme for the tree. However, we always have some of our same traditional ornaments on the tree regardless of the current theme. Last year, our Christmas tree theme was GIRAFFES. Yes, you read correctly. My 20 year old daughter is an avid collector and it made for an interesting Christmas tree.

My quilt group donates quilts to various charity projects as well. This year we are in process of making 60 pillow cases and quilts for a local homeless shelter - 1 for each bed.
