Before EBN and I got married we had the “deal breaker” discussion. Like most couples we talked about things like children, faith, finances and careers. For me, another crucial “deal breaker” relates to having a real Christmas tree. Although he still grumbles, EBN knows that we are a real Christmas tree family, and he knew it coming into this marriage. I am very excited to put up our Christmas tree this weekend! Looking for inspiration for your Christmas tree? Check out these amazing ornaments for Christmas tree inspiration…
