I finally have my tree up and started holiday shopping... I can't believe I waited until the weekend before Christmas! Some details on our *real* tree...
When it finally came time to buying a Christmas tree, we couldn't think of where we saw Christmas tree lots so it actually took some time finding a decent lot with a good selection. We settled on a cute Douglas Fir that was the perfect height and width for my living room.
It took about an hour to string up the lights and put up the ornaments. I miss my half blinkie lights on the fake tree... but loving the fresh pine tree smell! I also noticed I've lost some ornaments over the years... hopefully this year everyone brings an ornament because right now the tree looks a little bare! I might buy some garlands or ribbons to spice it up a little.
(Also if you notice, we haven't quite figured out how to add the star to the top yet)
One of the first ornaments ever... the 3 Winnie the Pooh ornaments my sisters brought in 2005. (Having years on the ornaments is convenient!) It still lights up too! (Although the Tigger one is broken)
Last year Mommy gave me this ornament of the 4 of us. I still think she should have put Joanna next to me and Vina as the smallest toad on the end.
My ornament last year was this Hello Kitty one with a kimono-print dress, to commemorate my trip to Japan to visit Yona.
While in Japan (Harajuku to be exact), I picked up this Snoopy ornament:
And this is mine for this year... a New England looking lighthouse to celebrate my first UX design job for Hasbro, on my short trip to Providence, Rhode Island.
After a brisk night of running around 40-degree weather, I've gotten a good start and am starting to fill up the tree with presents. I'm finally in the Christmas mood... so excited!
