This year The Nephew made his own decorations for everyone. He decorated little silver balls with glitter and the person's name. My dad never does a tree or decorations at his house but he wanted to do something with it - his grandson made it for him after all. So my brother hangs it off the deer antlers in my dad's living room.

And now we have all decided that next year we are going to band together to buy my dad some ridiculous Christmas decorations for him to hang off the two deer antlers he has up in the house.

So if your mom still doens't want to let you go crazy on the tree next year - you could always get deer antlers and hang stuff on them. lol
