Here is our christmas tree. 

Kenneth and I set up the tree.  We put a single string of lights on it and decided it probably wouldn't hold more than that.  We sat in the dark watching the lights twinkle and realized that what this tree needed was an old fashioned treatment.  We strung popcorn, and made homemade ornaments.  We made popcorn balls to hang on it too.  I don't have much decorating sense, but I have enough to override kenneth when he suggested that we just pit the popcorn balls in baggies and use hooks  to hang them from the tree.  We used colored plastic wrap and curling ribbon.  It makes a nice bit of sparkly color.  I am contemplating making some homemade candy canes. I think that the kids have enjoyed making ornaments.
