December is upon us, (has been for a while!) so I decided that it's time to start decorating. Phil and I found a tree at Macro and after a few minutes of debating it was ours. This was the first time I bought a tree and I'm quite pleased with my choice. Last night we had a little "tree party" and put up and decorated the tree, while most everyone else was in bed. We wanted it to be a surprise! No one knew we bought a tree and they thought we'd go without one this year. Here are a few pictures of our little tree "fete".
Everyone diligently arranging the branches.
Trying to sort out the tangle of lights. We only had 3 sets; one would blink, and the other 2 had the lights bunched on one line. It was a mission to figure out how they would go on the tree.
Phil is trying to fix one set of lights so it wouldn't blink. It took at least 1/2 hour.
Ta-da! The finished product. Do you like it? I'm quite pleased with it and I may say so as most of the praise and glory belongs to Ella and Phil. We'll try to find a star next time we go out. But for now it's going to be angels announcing the birth of Christ.
A lovely glass bauble. We don't have any kids in the house so it's pretty safe.
The lights look okay after all!

BEAUTIFUL! Merry Christmas Shep!
Oh thanks, and same to you too! What are you doing for Christmas? Ahhh it's so good to hear from you.
That's pretty impressive. I like it.
Had the same problem but worse with our lights this year. Finally bought a new string brought it home and half the lights didn't work. After the shop fixed it and I got them up on the tree it happened again. So frustrating...
