We got us a Christmas Tree!
Last year we didn't brave the adventure of buying a Christmas tree, but this year we decided to give it a go. We headed down to a nearby Christmas tree lot. ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_v6_vxW2ZbOA0pxyg5SCJRTQBfHm9V4bjmqa1v6_S813uckiZSn8r6ZUlOvTUe8R5WxDb9_Lvqmb0dBdqhpNxJ8nidFWnS5ChOLvS2tLqqP7WrywwYiWfq4BZI=s0-d)
But their prices were high and the trees looked a bit scrawny. We would have had to buy a stand for it and we didn't know where we'd keep it the rest of the year... etc. etc. So we ended up buying a LIVE tree from the nearby florist - whose prices were surprisingly reasonable, and it came in its own bucket. Course, Stan had to carry it home uphill for a mile... No taxi for him!![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_skfpvfB74u8wdJyRH1o9AeTOIa8G5a4LU-53YS4D8otGPtG2kRkaomz0Awni0ziCQVCjqRpSeqJFSC2vijFWuezJiTw8Qq6V1MKhoUruXbP9EwIJV5thfB6_TL=s0-d)
It fit just right...![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tvhLJSX6Q6gdqr7F67y0ngBIdsZhk2wZYoREszbAg1ykXJHl6PyYtWHcDzNJTwIJrnmdA_DhQvyVhpj6H1hNBzzfSG99zJxZobTKtp2cSy8Xc0g6On-zqPWCjvJQR54niv=s0-d)
And we actually had enough doodads and such around that the place decorated up rather nicely. (I included a red and white stripey straw from a recent lunch - it's stuck in the tree.) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vRSscffUOxFcVZd34ACFyqqbn--7Rv4Z7EggiWvmzSDfR5wqvMu9Cg_b0rEp7rKBwTUngmnX4og5NBtzXYiWMsIHKATbyePkgxPN7J7vFV4Vrlkj9iJ0Bi1hZqTBUDqkEH=s0-d)
It was definitely worth the effort. So nice!![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_u3SDXOhJ2MHv_-MUrDmiTqbgtvld5Kgqxv6sLv87zHQPl-VSGkaPtxJFSZeEyalaxuuCRcg3IlBWUsCN1ECUh-7WX1oiE0LzTebR9tGyjKEgAd3sh20NFrOHQNQvAhfg=s0-d)
And it has joined all the other Christmas tree lights we can see in our neighbor's windows. Festive! Happy yule y'all!
