As the title implies, I have chosen GOLD to be my Christmas Motif this year. I GO CRAZY with Christmas and decorating for it. I am not ashamed also to admit that I am a self-confessed
Christmas-A-Holic, so bear with me as my next posts are all about my Chrismtas decors this year.
And of course, to start of this series, I am sharing with you our tree this year. I really love how our tree turned out this year, take a look...

| Tada! |
 |
| Our home's centerpiece for this year |
It all started like this....
 |
| My $86 Walmart Chrismtas tree bought 6 years ago |
I added about 1000 regular Xmas lights - I still have not shifted to the more eco-friendly LED lights for my Christmas tree, I just feel like that light looks different with the newer ones. I grew up with these kind of lights on our tree back home and I think I will keep on putting the same type of lights for as long as it's available!
I then added this...
 |
| Sinamay from the Philippines |
I bought it on our trip last year from the Philippines. It's kind of like "natural-fiber" kind of MESH with gold strewn in. I love this because it reminds me of home again.

| Here is the Sinamay on the tree |
 |
| Glittered Gold and White Ribbon added from Sams Club |
So, after the lights and mesh and ribbon, I then added all the ornaments. The capiz ones again were from my last trip back home..
And it came out like this...
 |
| Big gold stars are from Dollar tree |
As you can tell from the number of picture I have of my tree that I am seriously inlove with it!
Despite my motif though, I still put our trip ornaments and ornaments made by my kids in it becuase in the end, a Christmas tree is not only a symbol for Christmas, it also embodies a families likes and loves!
