Oh yeah, we have our tree up. We're not those people who put their tree up super early because they just can't help themselves and have to do it right away before it's decently the right time.
Except that this year we are those people.
And I'm okay with that. In fact, I've always wanted to be those people, but real trees don't last that long. Especially in a warm house by the fireplace. But last year we had to replace our real tree the day after we put it up because an un-named cat, new to our house (that's right, you, Ayanna), rapidly scaled the very real tree and proceeded to split the trunk right in two, stripping off branches and scattering ornaments through the entire downstairs.
You can't say that our whole household doesn't get into the spirit of the season.
A fake tree is much sturdier and, unlike it's real counterpart, doesn't dry out and become super-fragile. Hence, we got the tree up last week. (Insert crazy cackle.)
Enjoy.
Oh I love it - so festive.
ReplyDeleteThat's my favorite thing about a fake tree... being able to put it up directly after Thanksgiving and leave it until New Years without worrying about watering the dang thing.
ReplyDeleteI had to get a new fake tree this year and I love it. Guess I should break out the camera and take some tree pics. :)
Oh I NEVER thought of that! My hubby's parents ALWAYS (insanity) put their tree up the day after Thanksgiving which I cannot condone. My family was always the one searching for a tree desperately the week before Christmas. My family used real ones. They had a fake tree. Aha. Now I understand.
ReplyDeleteLove these!
