Trying to decorate for Christmas. Different unit, different challenges and the first time we've had a tree up in 3 years. Family cat stays with us during the season and now think he is mature enough to keep his paws off the tree! lol
We also purchased a smaller tree that is made for small spaces. Tall, but narrow. Only about 32" at the bottom, so it fits in front of our fireplace nicely without blocking traffic flow. Pre-lit, so that part is a breeze. Set it up, decorate and plug it in.
I am weeding out a lot of our old stuff, including our old lights, and will put it out in the garbage shed. Maybe someone will want to give them a good home. We have about 3 "professional pickers" who come by once a week or so. Or, maybe another resident will want it.
I'm excited to have a tree again! We have several special ornaments that I enjoy putting up, include dated ones from the first few years of our marriage. I kinda dropped the ball after that and didn't buy any more.
The first one is the most special and the cheapest! We didn't have a lot of money to burn, so I bought a wooden, heart shaped, red ornament at the dollar store and painted our names with the year on it. Our "tree" that year was a string of green lights pinned to the wall in a tree shape. That ornament, plus a few others that I bought at the dollar store hung on the lights. It was actually pretty.
Now back to fun work!
