got over the grinchiness and bought a small table top tree. it was one of two left at the particular speciality grocery store at that time of night...kismit.
for the whopping price of $16.23 tx incl. plus one pack of batteries (maybe grand total of $22) there is now a lovely live tree with two strands of multi-coloured battery operated lights strung throughout sitting atop the bookshelf in the front window.
next to the menorah of course.
as for ornaments? haven't run across that particular box yet in unpacking. happy enough the tree came with lights as part of price so the only additional expense was batteries for the light strands.
it is very cheery and pleasant to have seasonal live greenery indoors.....knowing it will transplant outdoors quite well as landscaping shrubbery come spring helps with live tree guilt.
treejoy for those who are open to it. this little tree has definitely changed the atmosphere dramatically for the better w/o taking up hardly any space.
now that's bang for the buck! or as some now say....treejoy!
