When my children left home and I was done with day care I put my 7 foot tree away and just do a 4 foot one. But it is still a tradition!!
This year we moved to a different house in NE but are still working on the IA house so we will have our last Christmas there as my son and daughter in law live close by and they are headed to her folks.
So, Sunday we are having our last family gathering in our almost deserted family home of the last 25 years. I have a pre lit tree and Christmas table settings and that is it but it will be fun for just the 5 of us before we all go our separate ways. I know there will some tears but life moves on and next year I'll decorate my new home to the max!
