Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time!

We got our tree tonight. I've never had a real tree before so I was full of important questions.

Why is the tree so skinny?
Why do we have to trim the tree? It looks fine.
Why do we have to bail the tree?
Do we want regular or LED lights?
Why is it leaving needles all over?
Why does it smell so good?
How do I put lights on the tree?
Is this the saw you want?
Should the screws be going into the base of the tree?
Will we have to find a bucket to put under the tree to keep it wet?
What kind of bucket should we use?
Will the kitties climb the tree?


Jeremy's answers to my questions in no particular order.

Because it's a real tree.
Really? Is that a serious question.
Please stop asking questions.
I don't care how you do it, as long as I don't have to.


Finished product. Heh. We have, like, nine ornaments right now. We figure we'll collect more than we'll ever need through the years.






And yes, after one hour, we've already had to kick Pebble out of the tree. Also, she stole a sausage out of the pan on the stove tonight. She's getting a little feisty.

  1. Your tree is lovely, and I like the strobe lighting effect. The Reynolds have always been real tree people, so I am glad your first is working out for you thus far. We have one of those stands which is like a big bowl with a spike in the middle. It changed our life when we got it a few years ago. When you buy the tree they just drill a hole up the trunk, then you set the tree on the spike. Ta da, you're done. Made my dad so much happier. Anyway, hope your first real tree experience keeps going as well as it has started!

  2. love the tree and we're super jealous. Your tree is like a disco ball and that is the perfect spot bc you can peek out your bedroom door and check to see if Santa got there yet. Or if there's a cat in it.
