Sandy and I knew that Christmas decorating the house this year was going to be a challenge because we now have four little hands touching everything in the room below 34 inches. As our older home has tall ceilings, we considered placing our Christmas tree high on a table, but this would be inconvenient and limit the space for presents. Baby gate-like fences are sold that go around Christmas trees but are cost prohibitive for this short phase in our twin’s lives. No problem because our brilliant mommy suggested the perfect solution; putting the tree in the entry hall. This works because it’s visible and accessible to the living room, guests can easily be detoured to the side entry door and there’s already a baby gate protecting the area. It’s a solution ideal for looking, but not touching.
