xmas trees...

ok so i rarely get in the festive spirit.  getting in the festive spirit to me is getting INTO the (festive) spirits if you catch my drift.  glug-glug.  i can waste away a good xmas holiday by consuming and becoming merry. 

the other day when i was perusing walmart for LED lights, i stumbled on the xmas tree section and found cheap trees that looked nice.  i immediately was fixated on the white tree because my grandparents had one but it also looked really nice in the store.  it was pre-lit with who knows how many lights and was a 1, 2, 3 set up thing for $54 + tax.

got it home and assembled, tweaked the branches, plugged it in, and it's good to go.  in fact, i like it so much that i am not sure i'm even going to put ornaments on it or if i do, they'll be simple and understated.

i really suck at decorating xmas trees and i think that's why i havent really put one up fully in the last few years.  having a prelit tree does take away some of the stress and worry about placement.

i still have 2 other regular green trees in the basement that could be brought up.  initially i debated having a forest of trees in the livingroom, but let's be serious here: i'm not really that gung-ho for xmas and our house is not a mansion.  i could still opt to put another tree upstairs, but that seems like a lot of effort.

for now we'll just settle for the tree on the main floor and debate about ornaments....
