Welcome to Christmas Trees on Parade hosted by, Terri @ChristmasTreeLane.  I’m here to show you my Christmas tree and share a tip with you!  Then you can check out the other trees and tips and hopefully find one that will inspire you!

For years (40 to be exact) I’ve had a tree decorated with the sentimental decor, instead of a perfectly coordinated Pinterest tree.  We have very strong Christmas traditions at our home so a sentimental tree always trumps my dream for a coordinated themed tree.  To solve that problem I bought a tree for my den this year.  One I can decorate any way I want to.  I hopped online Oriental Trading and picked out some coordinating decor that I loved.  I chose the Nordic line because I love the simplicity and bright colors.

 Don’t you just love Nordic design?

 Here is what I get to stare at every day when I sit in the den and drink my morning coffee.

 I had a lot of fun decorating the tree with my new ornaments.
