We always used to have a large tree and this year we downsized to a smaller tree. I made my mother angry by decorating it with old glass ornaments from her childhood and my father's childhood. She was dragging her feet decorating it, so I did it myself. I like the old ornaments. I don't like a lot of fancy, over the top, gaudy ornaments that she loves. I like simple, round, old ornaments. At one point we had 2 trees. One was my mother's "fancy" tree that was nice to look at and terrible to decorate/undecorate. The other tree was the "kids tree" and had a bunch of Grolier ornaments. They were all Disney and Sesame Street themed. I loved decorating the kids tree. I have all the ornaments packed away for when I get my own place.
