I remember how we'd always oooh and aaah over the favorites as we unwrapped them when we were kids. Decorating the tree as a family is really like nothing else....and incredibly special time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-1134368344917617982005-12-12T00:19:00.000-06:002005-12-12T00:19:00.000-06:00How sweet of your husband to surprise you with a t...How sweet of your husband to surprise you with a tree.

Earlier in the day, we had visited the "upscale" store that sells fancy artificial trees...the one I liked cost $1200. Um...nope.<BR/><BR/>None of the real trees we saw looked like they would hold all my ornaments. They were too tall, too short, too full, too bare, too crooked, too flimsy, too heavy, etc. etc. AND I have been feeling increasingly reluctant to kill a living thing for my own pleasure. (As I get older, I just have a harder and harder time killing anything. No slam on anybody else doing it...I just feel bad doing it myslef.) <BR/><BR/>After spending the whole afternoon going from store to tree lot to store, we ended up with a 9' artificial tree from Lowe's, on sale for $149. We stood it up and "fluffed" it last night, and we'll decorate it when my sisters come up to visit next weekend. I think it will be perfect. But now we need a separate garage just to hold all our Christmas trees! :)Lisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-1134334372769660242005-12-11T14:52:00.000-06:002005-12-11T14:52:00.000-06:00How sweet.
