Almost Perfect

Every year it’s a battle. David loves the Denver Broncos . . . which is why we own this crazy Denver Broncos Christmas ornament. I like our tree to be uniform throughout with coordinating Christmas decorations. Did you notice the colors on this particular ornament—orange and blue! Doesn’t exactly blend with all of the red and gold on our tree.

So while I keep hiding this ornament toward the back, someone keeps moving it to a prominent place in the front. This has been our Christmas routine for several years. Any suggestions?

I say let it stay in the front! It gives the tree some charater and makes it "yours" when there's personal ornaments! Otherwise it would be just like any other Christmas decoration. :o)

are those dogs still hanging around your house? Maybe one of them would take care of it for you. If say, it some how got dropped in some meat juice and then the dog some how got a hold of it... just joking.

You could do like Shanygne does and have a separate, not perfect tree. I'm actually suprised there is just one Broncos ornament knowing how big a fan he is.

Who do you think the anonymous comment is from? David perhaps?

We have the same ornament. Fly that flag with pride man! Well, this season maybe you could sneak it to the back:-)

That's precisely why we have two trees: mom's is upstairs with coordinating decorations, the way I want people to think we are, and the "family" tree is down stairs with the hodge podge of ornaments that represent who we really are!

Well, you may want to consider an entire Broncos Christmas tree... HAH!

Shanygne said...

Yeah, i agree with karen...
get a small fake tree and decorate entirely with Broncos stuff.... the kids could make paper garland in orange and blue and Dave could proudly display his tree somewhere.

His office is good size. Couldn't he display it with pride in there. I'm sure his assistant would love to help decorate in her spare time :) Cheers for Beth VP (always looking out for my girls who take good care of Mr H)

I think you should put it right up on top, in place of the star! That way it wouldn't look out of place, it would look like the centerpiece! :)

At least that's where my husband would probably put it!
