Oh! (c*R*a*Z*y) Christmas Tree!
The tree is up and decorated! I found myself with a free Thursday evening, since Grey’s Anatomy was not on. Mike and I got to work and had everything done in a few hours. A few statistics:
# of lights: 450
# of trips to CVS to get more lights: 1
feet of popcorn: 24
feet of wood beads: 24
# of ornaments: ?? we didn’t count!
height of tree: over 7 feet
Mike and I affectionately call this our CRAZY Christmas tree. After decorating, we stepped back and just started laughing at the tree. It reminds me of Pigpen or something. . .branches every which way, disheveled may be a good word to describe it. Instead of a nice pear shape, the tree tends to be more like a rectangle with a point on the top. Regardless, it’s our first tree and we love it!
