Five years ago, this was our Christmas tree. I used to be ashamed of having the bare minimum for Christmas decorations.
This isn't even the worst one; one year, it was colored paper I cut out to look like a tree.
I wanted to forget those years. Forget they were so tough. I mean, who couldn't afford a small plastic 40 dollar tree?
The truth is, a lot of young families can't.
While it bothered me, my kids were fascinated with the unique designs I came up with. They were simply amazed. It wasn't anything special in my book, but it was something incredible in theirs. 💛
Now I look back and am humbled and proud of those times; they got us here. They gave us lessons and experiences; no matter what your struggle is, no matter what you have, you will always have each other. 🌟
