how cool that your dd is illustrating your cards. dd younger had painted (water-colour) for our last Christmas card. how cool!
Love that your dd is so creative d harriet!
Years ago I realized I was the only one that had 2 of my grandfathers drawings (one when he was 12 and one when he was 16) - 12 was a christmas scene and the other was of a girl praying. I made each person in the family a copy and used that as our Christmas cards that year.
best wishes re: tree.
I understand the love of a real tree but the want for a clean tree.
maybe you take a vote.

I am working on updating contact info.we used to call it a Christmas card list now it is the cell phone list.
Dson said we needed one after we could not contact two of his uncle's this past week.
So we have been working on that.

Phones are everywhere and every-tool now.
Our minister says : "And now, if you will turn with me in your phones to (scripture verse)." He's being funny, but it's not far off. You will definitely see some phones come up in people's hands.
I ordered our stamps for Christmas cards. Decided mainly on the new foursome of Santa Claus stamps, of which the one with glasses on his forehead looks like HRH! (In reality, one reason that one will look nostalgic or comforting to people is because it is from an old Coca Cola ad - probably not the most wholesome when you think about it.) But I really like the winter birds, too, and got one of those. Got a pane each of the first-responders and the WPA Posters ones to carry us through the winter for other correspondence and bills.

I invited a dcousin who lives alone to come to our Thanksgiving meal Saturday. If that were to work out, that would mean 17 of us.
What was I thinking? lol.
