Christmas decorating that's simple...

     Another day at Casa Cheeky decorating with lights, greenery, sparkles and bows, but I love to look through my Country Home and Country Living magazines and live vicariously through their style, which I love!  Sometimes I look around at all the glitz and lights and think oy vey at night it's fab, but in the day it's a garish hot mess of nonsense!  I miss the tradition of real trees, and real greenery; the smell and texture can just quite simply not be duplicated.  I was one of those people that said I would never, NE-HEH-VAH, have a fake tree.  They were well...fake.  Yet each and every year for about a month in December, I noticed that my kids were sick with every kind of bronchial/asthma/sinus infection known to man, and come to think about it, I couldn't really breathe either.  So apparently I had been exposing my kiddos to allergies to the point of causing pneumonia and my very own self to not breathing for a solid four weeks thinking it was who knows what?  So that ended my pledge for no fake trees...but I miss them, because they're simple.  They smell like something.  They smell like Christmas.  They make a memory.  Their mere texture is enough without all the bells, whistle, and lights to make them more than what they were meant to be...

Simple...
