Today's topic is Trees (Christmas/Solstice). J and I put up our Christmas tree like most years on the weekend after Thanksgiving. We have a small metallic tinsel tree, and I think it's the cutest! I love having a Christmas tree, and cannot envision a Christmas without one. One year we were moving around Christmas and we STILL put one up! J and I are very much on the same page when it comes to all things Christmas, we both love to make the house all festive.
On Friday, J was told that her company provides Christmas trees to their employees each year, so she called me up and asked if she should take one. I said an emphatic "YES!" because I never had a real tree. So she lugged this 7 foot tree to our home, and it was quite the mission setting it up. We had to find a tree stand for a real tree, saw off some of the base because it was cut crooked, decorate it, and take down the other one. However, I am so glad that we did! It is just gorgeous, and the pine smell is divine! I'm happy to finally experience a real tree!
