It doesn't feel like Christmas


This is the latest I've ever started Christmas... it's already December 9th and I haven't put the tree up yet. I usually put it up the weekend before Thanksgiving but this year we are getting a *real* tree so I had to wait until the Christmas tree lots started popping up.

We're supposed to go today after work to pick out a tree and get it set up. I'm pretty nervous. I've never done a real tree and I'm worried the pine needles will end up everywhere and it will completely tick off my OCD. I can't even imagine how much that tree will shed while carrying it from the street to the apartment. I think the worst part for me will be manually putting up Christmas lights. I'm already anal enough as it is with ornament placement but to have to place each and every twinkling bulb on its cable so it looks random but evenly dispersed... it will be a fun night.
