It was a cold and blustery saturday morning (actually clear skies...warm...almost summer like!)
and we were off to find the perfect Christmas tree! Within just a few minutes (actually walked in circles for quite awhile around the Christmas tree lot) we found "our" tree! Of course it was bigger than the living room would hold (height wise!) So, paid full price and then had the attendant cut a good foot off the bottom to accommodate our "limited" ceiling! Got it home and let it "rest" on the garage floor...allowing any little critters to escape before bringing it into the house! With a pull and a push it was upright in it's stand...(fastest tree we have ever put up...that stayed up... without leaning!) Then the task of lights, ribbon, bulbs...and more bulbs...and another trip to Kmart for more bulbs! This year we went with all new decorations...inspired by all the trees at the "Festival of Trees" at the mall! And even though I say it is finished...I think I'll slip into Kmart tomorrow for just a few more things! So, now we wait for Santa to bring some goodies...we've been pretty good this year...right, Santa?
It's beautiful! I love the ribbon! I was thinking I wanted to put ribbon on ours! I can't wait to see it in person! :)
