'Tis the season to be jolly and cart boxes of ornaments out of the attic or basement, gather around the Christmas tree and D-E-C-O-R-A-T-E!

Tell us about your family's tree and what makes it so special. Do you use the same artificial tree year after year or prefer a real one? Is it tradition to hang the same ornaments or do you change them out along with different themes each year? Does everyone help? Listen to music and snack on cookies while decorating? Share your Christmas tree decorating memories in the comments below.

And show off you favorite ornament!  Snap a photo, upload it and tell what it means to you in the caption. 

Merry Christmas!
