Start a Tradition - Christmas Tree Trunk Trimmings

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday!  I was in Boston for 10 glorious days soaking in some much needed city and family time.  Having grandparents around to help with Knox is such a luxury!  I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things here at home...y'know laundry, groceries...really sexy stuff. 

I had to share this adorable idea I came across in the latest issue of Better Homes & Garden.  I LOVE easy, inexpensive ways to commemorate the holidays and I'm a sucker for collections.  This idea is both wrapped into one!

Before you set up your tree, it's recommended that you give the trunk a fresh cut - about an inch trimmed off the bottom.  Instead of discarding that 1" disk this year, take a Sharpie to it.  The year, your initials...whatever you're in the mood for.  Before long you'll have a charming finishing touch to your holiday mantel decor.
