TWOC #9 - Oh Christmas Tree

This is another week of Red Writing's Twelve Weeks of Christmas Blog party. If you want to participate or just see other's entries, just click on the button on my sidebar!

OK, funny story:

We had had an OLD fake Christmas tree (we got it used) for a few years when I heard that if your tree was giving off an odor it meant that the plastic in the tree was breaking down and emitting very harmful chemicals into your home!

So I got totally paranoid and made Snuffy throw away the tree (without checking out the veracity of the statement)! I was pregnant at the time so cut me some slack (pregnancy makes me nuts) LOL!

He asked me if I wanted to pick out a real tree but I just told him to grab one on his way home. I laughed soooo hard when I saw it! It looked EXACTLY like our scrawny old hurtin Charlie Brown tree! What the fudge?

Apparently, having only had fake trees as a kid he thought they looked better when you could see through all the branches right to the walls LOL! He said it shows off the ornaments better! WHATEVER!!!

Get me a bushy full tree!!!! Soooooo, ever after that we cut down our tree! Last year it was so cold we should have dressed for snow.

Lots of complaining so we picked a tree FAST and went off to have the best part - hot chocolate!

Our decorated tree: (only slightly scrawny at the top)

How sweet are these two?

Can't wait to see all you Martha's out there with your absolutely fabulous coordinated trees!
