The Christmas Tree...Real vs. Fake
I have always heard that marriage is about compromise. After 8 months of marriage I now KNOW that marriage is about compromise. For our very first Christmas together our biggest dillema was not how to split our time between our two families for the holiday it was do we buy a real Christmas tree or a fake one? Or we could call it Ashley vs. Steven! I grew up in a home where we had a real, live tree. I love the smell! Steven on the other hand is always Mr. practical and wanted a fake tree that we could use year after year. I'm telling you the debate went on until we were at the store pricing and looking at both. Eventually he caved and bought me my real tree! That was the best Christmas gift ever! Here are a few pictures of our first Christmas together as husband and wife!

I know I'm responding late, but this is totally the biggest debate in our marriage also! I love real trees! Damon hates the mess, getting it home, setting it up, etc.
ReplyDeleteWe finally compromised so that if we're in town for Christmas, we get a real tree. If we are going to spend most of the month out of town, we have a LITTLE fake tree we put up. I keep hoping he'll fall in love with my real trees though!
Happy to know that we aren't the only ones! We will have to see what happens this year! I too am hoping that Steven fell in love my real tree last year and will let me get one again this year!
