bah humbug!!

okay, so decorating your christmas tree is supposed to be fun, right??? well, it was, for the most part, but the following things make it hard to enjoy yourself:

1. when you put up your entire fake tree, and realize that the last row of branches is completely missing.
2. when you can't find an extension cord in your ENTIRE house.
3. when you go to plug in the lights on the tree, and they don't turn on.

well, after much agonizing, i finally got it all up. i still haven't found another extension cord for our smaller tree for the endtable, though. poor brian kept saying, "are you okay in there?" because i was acting like the tree was out to kill me. :) i did find some cool new things in the boxes that i had forgotten i had bought after christmas last year when they were on mega-sale. :)

here are some pictures of my "half-tree" (the solution to my missing row of branches- i re-used a row, and had to make it a half-tree, which helps in our small dining area anyway).

good night!

Yes, setting up the tree can be fun sometimes.I hate Christmas lights. They never work the next year. Love the pics. You made it look very festive.
Love,
