Motivated Mom and I are decorating the Christmas Tree tonight.
I've been musing on the evolution of decorating the tree.
It began with our first year as a married couple and we were suddenly faced with .... (gasp) decorating differences.
You mean the way MY family always decorated the tree isn't the only way?
The next step was family decorating. Determined Dad took the top branches, Motivated Mom the middle, and the children decorated any branch they could reach.
Then Motivated Mom and Determined Dad sort of moved to the background as the kids grew taller and wanted to do more.
Teenage years hit and suddenly decorating the tree was boring after fifteen minutes. So it was back to Motivated Mom and Determined Dad again taking the forefront.
Now College Dude has moved out and Media Girl is conspicuous in her absence. So it's back to just Motivated Mom and Determined Dad.
The one, and most important, common denominator throughout this evolution - I have always decorated the tree with someone I love.
