We just did something this year I never thought we would do! We purchased a fake Christmas tree.....not only a fake one....but a 12 FOOT fake one.......that weighs as much as I do!
We never let my mom get a fake tree when we were little. We refused! We loved going to pick it out, finding just the right one, and smelling that wonderful frasier fir smell the weeks until Christmas. I never EVER thought I would be excited about a fake tree.....until last year. Last year it took me three days to get the remnants of needles and sap out of our house and I swore I'd never do it again. So, this year we decided to make it a bit easier on ourselves and get a prelit tree that was the right size and shape for our house. When Beckett gets a bit older and has an opinion on it, we'll probably buy a small real tree for him to decorate, but for now, I'm enjoying the fact that my broom hasn't swept up one needle and I didn't have to string one light!
Here's a view from the balcony looking down. Very easy to apply the bow on top at least. |
New heel from my mother-in-law and sister-in-law's recent trip to London. They know me pretty well.... |
Tis the season for candles. In lieu of having a real tree and that wonderful tree smell, I have a candle burning almost daily. These smell fantastic and are my favorites: WoodWick Mistletoe Magic WoodWick Frasier Fir and Thymes Frasier Fir |
Happy Monday!
XO,
Beautiful tree! How are you able to put on ornaments on the top half of it?
