My mom has dozens of pine trees and a few holly bushes on her property so I always make a run to her house before I decorate to snip some evergreen boughs and holly and to forage for pinecones.

I loved it. The smell could not say Christmas more. The only problem is that when using organic, you can't decorate as early and clean-up can be a B&^CH! lol<br /><br />Next year, I am going to buy a cheap live tree (our grocery stores sell them for about $24.95) and cut off all the branches for decorating. I am also experimenting t his year with floor wax as a preservative.<br /><br />I just loved these inspirational pics. Thanks for sharing.
