It’s perfect and it took 3 seconds!.

I really love fancy and complicated Christmas trees, but I just don’t have the patience to do them myself at this point in my life.So even though we have 5 trees this year, they’re all super super simple.

We don’t use the recommended 100 lights per foot of tree.In fact, I think there are probably only 2 strings of 100 per tree, plus some patio lights for fun.I really do love the look of letting the natural beauty of the real trees shine through though.

I almost think I could not decorate them at all and I’d still love having them in the house.. All I did this year was put in a few berry picks to match the red berry wreaths I made a few weeks ago, and then I handed Kennedy the bag of red ornaments and said “this is the red tree”.. Nine year olds are the best!(Look at the socks :)).

We thought we would make the fake tree in the dining room a red tree too to match.

Kennedy did it in her own way.Here’s what you need!.

chocolate cake mix.chocolate instant pudding mix.

melted salted butter.Mix everything together, roll it out into little 1.5 inch balls, and bake it at 350 for about 12 minutes!
