*I received a free Christmas tree to necessitate my review. All opinions are my own and also please note that if you do click some of the links below and purchase from King of Christmas, I will receive a small commission from all sales.*
It is officially the month of December and Christmas decorating commenced this past weekend.
I know Lily’s 4th Birthday, Thanksgiving, and Black Friday were all last week.
We partied it up at Lily’s 4th birthday, but now onto…
But yesterday was December 1st and around these parts, it is very much ‘LOOKING A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS’.
See after getting our party on, eating some turkey and even getting in some holiday annual Black Friday shopping, we spent Saturday afternoon decorating the house.
The tree and all the trimmings went up. Plus bonus Sunday, the girls mailed their letters to Santa and then even got to meet Santa again for this year (more on that next week – I promise).
But in case, you missed it we got a brand new 6 Foot Scarlet Fir Pre-Lit LED Christmas tree courtesy of King of Christmas, who I recently got to share their earlier Christmas tree giveaway, here.
Loving our brand new Christmas Tree – Thanks to King of Christmas!
The tree is absolutely festively gorgeous and just as described by King of Christmas is:
“Beautifully realistic with full branches in a rich shade of green, the Scarlet Fir looks gorgeous wrapped in garlands and red velvet bows. Shipped fully assembled, the Scarlet Fir Christmas Tree is ready for shaping right out of the box with its strong branches and hinged construction. A premium quality tree, the Scarlet Fir is designed to look just like a natural fir tree with finely detailed tips that are full and soft to the touch. Transform your home into a fairytale setting throughout the Christmas season with a splendid Scarlet Fir Christmas Tree.”
In a nutshell, I can’t thank King of Christmas for allowing us to select this brand new Christmas Tree, as we were long overdue for a newer, updated tree and this was not only the perfect timing for it, but divine centerpiece for our Christmas decorating.
For added piece of mind for those in the market for new artificial trees this Christmas, please not that all their trees (ours included) come with a Worry-Free Five Year Foliage and Two Year Light Limited Warranty.
So, definitely can’t go wrong with getting your tree through King of Christmas.
Now, I couldn’t resist though to show a few gratuitous closeups of our tree, which was decorated with the help of The Princesses with some of this year’s added on ornaments and a few more special decorating touches for our home, too!
Take a look below now:
Updated 2014 Family Ornament
As promised Elsa (our puppy) got her very first Christmas ornament on our tree, too!
Of Course The Princesses Had to Have Olaf!
Oh and Elsa, too!
And the tree wouldn’t be complete without a pic of the Princesses!
Of Course, we still love Mickey and Minnie Mouse for our tree skirt!
And the matching wreath!
More snowmen, because we just can’t get enough of them (yes it is a nightlight!)
Because I just love my candle lantern, as well!

I’m not ready to deal with Christmas yet, but it looks like you are doing enough for both of us, so thanks for taking care of that for me. 🙂 Happy Upcoming Wednesday to you, and that picture of Lily is precious.

I love your tree and all of your decorations! You guys are very festive.
Seana Turner says
Wow – your tree looks absolutely amazing. I love those personalized ornaments.. especially with the year on them. It’s a great way to relive family history every year, and to see how we looked at previous Christmases. I treasure some of our early ornaments more now than ever. We started buying ornaments as vacation souvenirs and that has been a wonderful way to remember the places we’ve been. What a tremendous collection of posts here – cheers:)
Amanda @ Growing Up Madison says
It sure is looking a lot like Christmas in your house. We haven’t really decorated since once again we’ll be spending Christmas outside of the US. That’s a beautiful Christmas tree and now I know where to get a tree for the following year. Seems it’s Christmas on most blogs today including my own where I highlighted Christmas books. 🙂
Echo says
I love your gorgeous tree and ornaments! We have our tree up now and the mantle is decorated! Pictures will come soon!
Leah says
Love how Christmasy you are already! All those ornaments are so precious!
Tara Newman says
Decorating the tree is my favorite. It’s like a walk down memory lane with all the ornaments and when you got them. A little surprised your entire tree wasn’t Frozen themed 🙂
Nellie @ Brooklyn Active Mama says
What a gorgeous tree!! And I am absolutely in love with the personalized ornaments, those are keepsakes you can keep forever! I knew I would catch a glimpse of a frozen character or two in there!
Stephanie @ Life, Unexpectedly says
Nice tree, Janine! We’ve been getting real trees every year since moving to Germany, and I just love how they smell and change the air in the room. In the U.S. we’ve also had a pre-lit artificial tree, which I was amazed by since I was previously completely against artificial trees. Love your ornaments, especially the snowman family ornament, so cute!!
Dara says
I love all the ornaments and I like that your elf is cute, not scary!
The Dose of Reality says
Your tree is GORGEOUS and I love your ornaments!! They are adorbs! We haven’t put up our decorations or tree yet and Lucy was mentioning how she was missing our Christmas stuff. You’ve inspired me to get moving!! –Lisa
Kate says
Things are looking very festive in your house! I love the tree. We are getting ours up this week or weekend. I can’t wait!
Rosey says
Your tree is pretty, and I love the tree skirt. AND you’ve got Olaf on the tree!!! I love Olaf. 🙂
karen says

Melissa @ Home on Deranged says
That tree is gorgeous! And I love the Mickey & Minnie wreath. That would be a great addition to our Christmas collection!
Heather @ My Overflowing Cup says
Love your tree and your daughter is a beauty. Thanks so much for hosting this wonderful link-up. There are so many incredible posts here!
Jennifer | The Deliberate Mom says
Your tree and decorations are GORGEOUS Janine! I love it.
I’ve been harassing my hubby for a pre-lit tree. I can’t stand the tedious task of putting up lights.
Thanks for sharing. I loved seeing your festive home.

Tamara says
I love that it’s called a Scarlet Fir! And six feet is not too shabby.
Scarlet would love your ornaments…
Speaking of which.. we are going back to Disney World in January. Come meet us!!
Michelle @ A Dish of Daily Life says
What a great looking tree! The fake trees certainly look a lot better now than they used to when we were kids. I think my parents still have ours. It’s awful. Yours is beautiful! And pre-lit too…how cool is that?!
Tracie says
Your tree is beautiful!!
I love all of your ornaments. The Elsa puppy is especially cute.
Jen says
Oh my goodness your tree is beautiful! How exciting!! I love that even your puppy has an ornament!
Brittnei says
Your girls are so sweet! It’s fun to watch what they are into right now. It’s been like Frozen everything. I wonder what’s next? 🙂
Alison says
That is a gorgeous tree!
Rea says
So lovely ornaments, And amazing new Christmas tree too! I love the spirit of Christmas allt he time. We haven’t really decorated our house because we’ll be leaving a week after next and will be back after New Year so I thought we’d just do some cleaning up. 🙂 Happy Holidays to you!
Rabia @TheLiebers says
A pre-lit tree would make my life so much easier! I’m not sure if any of the lights we have from last year still work, and I haven’t had the time to check it out. Hopefully this weekend!! Keep your fingers crossed!
lisacng @ expandng.com says
I just love your family ornament, personalized tree skirt, and wreath! Our house has no signs of Christmas. Maybe I should remedy that this weekend!
Aunt Gloria says
What a beautiful tree! Thanks for sharing it on your blog….but wish I could see it in person. I love all the ornaments and decorations. You all did a great job. I’m actually beginning to feel the spirit of the season! Thanks for that.
Have a good day in the city…..sounds like a good opportunity. And happy weekend to all. December is moving right along……xxxxxooooo
Jhanis says
I soooo love your tree!
Dana says
Your tree looks beautiful! Everyone seemed to put their trees up right after Thanksgiving this year, since it was so late. Gah – less time to get everything done!
Pam@over50feeling40 says
The look on her face is precious! Thanks for sharing with the Thursday Blog Hop!
Alexa says
Great ornaments! The tree looks fantastic. And you got it for free??? Even better! You are getting some awesome, awesome stuff thanks to your blogging. Your hubs must be really proud.
Kristi Campbell says
Janine, I love love your photos!!! I actually got contacted by this company and never got back to them (I SUCK). I love your tree and your ornaments!! Beautiful! We haven’t gotten our tree yet… hopefully tomorrow???
The Pinterested Parent says
Your tree is gorgeous & I love all the Frozen ornaments. Lol! I love the convenience of an artificial tree myself. I have had many bad experiences with the fresh cut ones. I will never do one again. Our tree is pretty old. We need an upgrade as well. I will have to look at these.
This Busy Life says
Beautiful tree and decorations!
