| Courtesy of mom and dad, we all have these Vermont Snowflake ornaments — a taste of New England winters and a family favorite! |
It used to be that I was Commander in Chief when it came to decorating the Christmas tree. Even after I left for college, my family would wait to decorate the Christmas tree for when I returned home — 1) because it was tradition and 2) for fear that I would hurt anyone who deigned to decorate without me.
But now that we all live across the country and have homes and Christmas trees of our own, the times they are a' changin'. We've been forced (somewhat reticently, on my part) to adjust to life and Christmas preparations (which to me are almost the same thing) on our own.
Of course, The Tree will always be the one at home in Topsham, Maine — and I doubt, no matter how old or far-flung we become, that will ever change. So in honor of London family traditions near and far, here's a little photo tour of our Christmas trees from Maine to Colorado to New York City!

| In Colorado, a lodge pole pine from the national park makes the perfect tanenbaum (and Hobbes helps to pick it out!) |
 |
| Plenty of space between the branches for ornaments (and presents!) |
|
 |
| A tree from the stand on the corner makes an NYC apartment cozy and bright. |
 |
| ...and a much bigger tree glitters up the street in Washington Square Park! |
 |
| In Camden, Maine (one of our family's favorite seaside spots) a tree sets sail from a lofty mast. |
