For the past two years, the family did not put up the Christmas Tree. The first year, I was just testing to see if my two boys would object and put the tree themselves. Sad to find out, they both were relying on me. So no tree.
The next year, I was just plain lazy and at that point nobody cared if there were any festivities at all.
This year, I told myself that we WILL get that tree. My husband and I even went as far as going to the tree lot, but changed our mind at the last minute. With the snow and all, the tree was just not going to happen.
Well, today, the snow let up. In fact, there’s hardly any evidence (except on the hills) that there was even snow. That made my mood upbeat. After some errands, I relented and bought a tree.
Still being quite lazy that I am, I bought the ornaments and the frills, even when I have all of them in my attic. Who wants to rummage through the attic at this point, huh?
So, this year, here’s our tree!
What? Isn’t it better than none? Besides, it’s a live baby tree, about 2′ tall.
After the tree decoration, I called my husband at his office. Told him I just couldn’t resist when I saw the half price the tree lot is selling trees at this time, so I bought the biggest tree there was. I hope he believes me.
