Christmas Time is Here~

"I never thought it was such a bad little tree. It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love." Linus Van Pelt A Charlie Brown Christmas

I don't specifically know how I ended up at Wal Mart. My personal feelings about the company aside--sometimes a gal's budget just takes over. Not to mention the fact that it is already December 6th and I'm in still without a tree. Oh, I love the Christmas tree and the entire process. Trekking up to mom and dad's to cut a tree off the family place is just practically a postcard in itself. It's all very nostalgic to me, even though I can't actually remember us ever specifically doing that, although I know we did, I'm sure we did.

I am very against the fake tree, with it's prelit lights and no distinguishing characteristics whatsoever. I love the evergreens, the Douglass firs, the Colorado pines. Whatever. I'm a sellout. This being 12-6 I marched over to wal-mart, I got my 5 1/2 foot prelit, easily assembled tree. For $29.99. Does that make me a bad person? Maybe. But last year I was forced to get a tree off of the lot for 65 bucks! At least I'm not doing that again. {I guess I didn't technichally fork over any dough...as I left my wallet at home...oh, the schmoopies didn't mind at all:)}

With a little love, I'm hoping this tree will bring a little magic.
