BAM - Dining Room Tree

This is the dining room tree, the one that has all "the pretty stuff" on it. Several years back I started collecting Waterford ornaments and this tree has the Noah's Arc series, the 12 days of Christmas series and the Songs of Christmas series. We were also gifted a Waterford ornament on our first anniversary (thanks Desert Dwellers) and a precious angel from The Gardener's dear friend J. This tree also has other treasured pieces we've collected and many that were gifts from family and friends.

Typically this tree is topped with a Waterford crystal tree topper that TG&TG purchased in St. Thomas with money given as a wedding gift from our grandparents (all of whom are now gone). This year The Gardener was too chicken and was worried it would topple so the red spire went on instead and the crystal topper was displayed in the china cabinet with the Nativity.

This tree has all white lights, red and sage green balls, crystal ornaments, some fancy favorites and even an ornament from Aunt Sandy and Uncle Ron that is engraved with 1972.
