O' (Artificial) Christmas Tree

Well, it's official. I have thought about it, talked about it, and written about it for years and we have finally done it! We bought our first FAKE Christmas tree yesterday and I can't tell you how wonderful it was to come home, put it up, plug it in and....tada....instant lights! I thought I would miss the fresh pine smell of a real tree, but honestly I didn't. I was too enamoured with the fact that I didn't have to water the tree morning and night, vacuum up needles, or spend an hour stringing lights. O how we love our fake Christmas tree!!

This boy loves to decorate for Christmas!




The finished product - pretty fabulous if I do say so myself!




The only problem with having a fake tree is that I really don't want to think about taking it down. Now that I don't have to worry about the tree becoming dry and a fire hazard, I could probably keep it up until February....at least!
