agt_spookyOops, almost forgot to post this today! More Christmas boys!
The hubby and I finally got our Christmas tree up last night. (for those of you confused by my last post about Hanukkah, John is Jewish and I'm not, so we get twice the celebrations!) Actually, it's not our tree. We're borrowing it from my friend at work. Sounds bizarre, doesn't it? :-) See, for the last nine years, John and I lived in a place that had vaulted ceilings in the living room. And my Jewish husband wanted the biggest artificial tree he could find. [shakes head] So we have a twelve foot pre-lit tree. Only problem is, now that we're in our new house, we don't have vaulted ceilings anymore, so the tree won't fit in the living room. [sigh]
We were talking about decorating at work the other day and I mentioned that our tree won't fit anymore and that we don't have the money right now to go buy a smaller one. My friend that sits next to me bought a new, bigger tree this year, so her smaller one was just sitting in a box in her garage, so she offered to loan it to John and I this year. Yay! So now we've got a borrowed tree. :-)
It's only six feet tall so it looks SO tiny compared to what we're used to and we got it decorated in a third of the time it usually took us. But at least we've got a tree, and after Christmas we'll see if we can get a new one for ourselves when they all go on sale. :-)
This weekend - gift wrapping time!
