Christmas Card Tree

This is my new favorite decoration at Christmastime...

I learned about the concept of a card tree last year on someone's blog and liked the idea, so I decided to give it a whirl this year since we had an extra artificial tree. (We purchased a new one last year the day after Christmas, which we used as our main Christmas tree. We used our older tree for our card tree and put it up in the kitchen.) We proudly displayed each of the Christmas cards we received this year on our tree in the place of ornaments, and I love-love-love looking at the tree each day while I'm in the kitchen and seeing the people I love. It makes my heart happy! The presents under the tree are now gone, but I am not anywhere ready to take this tree down! I will definitely be having a card tree again next year! :)
