Thanksgiving, here and gone.
The next morning I awoke to our new artificial tree waiting for decorations. John had already set it up. We have gotten a real tree for the past thirteen or so years and have been wanting to switch over to an artificial tree for the past couple of years. Just the convenience of getting "it out" when you are ready to decorate versus making time to go out to a tree farm, cut it down, drag it in the house, try and straighten it on the tree stand (while getting sap all over yourself along with the needles stuck into your skin) and then finally stringing the lights. Been there, done that. It was definitely wonderful to smell and see the beautiful fresh tree in our home. But as the kids have gotten older it just has not been the same magical experience. Now we love our prelit tree that comes in three easy to set up sections!
And, for the first time probably ever, I've done most of my shopping online and have it just about done! Wa-hoo!
Enjoy the Christmas season with your family and friends.
