With only 4ish days until Christmas, Bill and I finally put up a tree today. As this is our first real tree since the early naughts, I was a bit nervous that we would have an insufficient number of ornaments. For reference, this tree was the last we "put up:"
It was a 3 foot fake tree on a table in our 700 square foot apartment. THIS is our '08 tree:
Though it is thin, I'd guess it's 9 feet tall. Fortunately, we have over 30 years of ornaments collected and our tree is nicely decorated. I even had to leave some Eskimos off.
So here, in all it's decorated glory is our $18 tree-farm Something Fir. It is mildly Charlie-Brownish, but it is less than a week from Christmas and we rather like it.
And an oldie of Bernie from the photo archive:
what do you mean, had to leave some eskimo's off???? A 9-ft tree and 26 years or more of eskimo's????
