I can't wait to start new traditions with my family.  Traditions are part of what I remember the most growing up.  Home-made pizza on Christmas Eve ... 7-Up with Cherry 7-Up Ice Cubes, Sandman, Disney, Pull aparts, Grandparents, games, good food ... It's the traditions with my family that I cherish most. 
This year we started our Christmas season out right by putting up the tree. 
Up until this year we have had a fake (cheep) walmart tree.  Last year it was on the verge of breaking, PLUS I HATE fixing the branches so it looks somewhat real -- so we decided to get a real one this year!  I haven't had a real tree since ... probably 
I was 10 or so.  We make the long trek down the road to Harmons and picked out the "right one" ... a $34.95 wonder!
We took it home, put it in it's stand, and ate home-made pizza.  over the course of a couple of weeks we have put the final decorations on it and voila!  A majestic tree presides in our living room.

The tree looks wonderful in your bay window! And looks like you found a munchkin to go along with it.
