We have been enjoying our Christmas tree for about a week but have yet to decorate with any ornaments. I ordered a bunch online last week and we have been patiently waiting for them to be delivered. When we awoke this morning, a large box was sitting on our porch. What delivery company drops off packages in the middle of the night? We definately did not have time to check them out before we headed to work (we’re usually cutting it close as it is) so we had to wait until later after work to do the decorating.
So this evening, after a weeknight dinner at a local restaurant, we again put on the Christmas tunes and strategically placed our ornaments. We (mostly me) decided against any garland or additional Christmas tree decorating techniques. We thought it best to keep it simple this year. It’s our first Christmas tree so we have time to perfect our technique. During the past few days, Eric has mentioned stringing popcorn to place on the tree branches. It’s not something I’m thrilled about but I’m willing to compromise. So far he has declined so I’m thinking we will not do that – I’m thinking he does not want to waste the microwave popcorn.
We had concerns about our cat, Rudy, thinking that the ornaments were toys to play with. Surprisingly, he has ignored the ornaments although he occasionaly scratches the trunk. Who can blame him though? – it looks like a tree!

The people who decorated that tree must have gone to school for decorating

Yes, I agree it is a beauty. Howevcr – the picture does not do the tree justice. I am going to try to get a better shot before the season is over.
