So... I have been whining about getting my very own Christmas tree for the last 10 years or so, and FINALLY! my husband relented.
So, four days after Christmas, my h, my cousin, and myself went to Target, purchased a 7ft, remote-controlled, Christmas Tree, nice and full! along with 300 ornaments. 100 plastic ones for the bottom third of the tree, and the rest traditional glass globes and glass icicles for the top part. The colors are gold, silver, and blue, and the thing just GLOWS!!!
Total price tag?
250$ seriously! Everything was 50% off. I also bought Christmas cards and i *should* buy some gift bags, at 50 cents a piece, I could save some moneys. It's not like this stuff spoils, and we have a 12x 18 room in our basement that is full of boxes and construction detritus. Instead it *could* be home to a selection of gift giving fixin's.YAY!!! There's Christmas spirit in MY house. (every year we go out of town, and return to an empty, cheerless place)!!!
Whoo hoo!
