O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree...




how lovely is your fakeness...


We totally purchased a artificial Christmas Tree on Sunday, I'm so excited. Because who wants to make you children's noses run MORE in the cold weather. When I was growing up if you asked me if I would ever have a fake tree in my home I would have looked at you like you asked me to put a tree made of turds in the corner of my living roon. Obviously, my views have changed. We grew weary of picking a tree, paying too much for it only to have the needles start falling off WAY too soon. I also got frustrated with using up a whole vaacum bag to suck up the 10 million needles that blasted off the tree as we shoved it out the door on January 1st, brown and crackly and could be. I do miss the smell and I'll probably miss the tree hunting tradition next year, but hopefully the pros will still outweight the cons.


So do you have a fakie or a realie?



Happy Birthday Mom, I Love you!

Thanks Heather...I love you guys too! I could certainly tell a lengthy story about the purchase of an artificial tree! But alas, an artificial tree it is.....

Artificial for me - real trees give me the runs (in my nose).
