Our first Christmas tree as newlyweds Dale went to the local Rite Aid while I was at work and bought a 9 foot live tree. It must have been mis labelled because it only cost 16 dollars. Then he spent all his birthday money buying ornaments for the tree. I came home from work that night to the most beautifully decorated tree. We still needed more ornaments and that started our yearly tradition of exchanging tree ornaments. A few years ago we realized we could really stop that tradition because our collection was getting huge. I still like to get an ornament each year on vacation or as a symbol of a favorite memory. This year we had picked up two - a circus ornament from Cirque de Soleil in Portland and a seahorse from the Vancouver Aquarium.
