Last Christmas our old pre-lit tree was down to one last string of lights.
We just put more lights on.
We could have cut all the zip ties that held the old lights on but, the tree was probably 15-16 years old.
Decided to buy a new tree.
Watching Hallmark, way too much, saw a commercial for Balsam Hill and the trees were on sale.
I needed a tallish thin tree.
I think I got is 75% off at the time.
Since Katy was home for Thanksgiving, we put the tree up.
Very happy with it!
He put most of the lights and beads up.
Can't really see the ornaments well but, they are there.
Festooned the lanterns on the china cabinet with wire ribbon and little clip on greens.
Swags of evergreen, pine cones, berries with a little glitz.
Found battery operated lights to put on the little trees on the mantel.
Did my Shop Small yesterday.
Picked up several Christmas presents.
I do shop small whenever I can.
Put the Snowmen and Santas out.
He use to go in the guest bathroom but, this year I found a moose.
I just love his attitude and swagger.
Had a wonderful but, busy Thanksgiving.
It was great to have Katy and her boyfriend home.
Not sure what the plans will be for Christmas.
They have plans to see his extended family.
Not sure if they will make it here or not.
Things get complicated and she is a little upset by it.
It just is a matter of sharing and compromising.
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Getting ready for Christmas.
Have a great week!
Keep Stitching

Your tree looks fabulous as does your mantle and top of the china cabinet! Enjoy the coming week!
ReplyDeleteYour tree looks great. We broke down last year and got a new one. Your home is looking very festive. I have a friend coming to visit on Friday just to see my Fall decorating so Christmas has to wait!
ReplyDeleteNice decorations.
ReplyDeleteThe tree looks great.
By the commercials, they look very pretty.
We bought a tall, skinny tree a few years ago, and we love it.
Have a great week!
