We put up our Christmas tree last night!!! Sam got home from work at 10:00, and for some reason we decided to get the tree ready. (I think I was way too excited, so Sam went with it :) ) We had bought 1 strand of lights from DI, but it wasn't enough... So of course we went to Walmart at 10:30 to get more. Of course, right? We couldn't have a half-lighted tree, now could we? While at Walmart we found a box of candy canes for 88 cents and we couldn't resist (ok, I couldn't resist) buying them. Then we came home, strung up the rest of the lights, put on the ornaments and candy canes, and voila! Christmas. :)
You know what's funny about that tree? It's almost identical to the one Dad and I had our first Christmas--red and silver. But we had multi-colored lights. In fact, I was noticing that we have a few of the original red balls still on our tree--22 Christmases. Can you believe that?
ReplyDeleteOne day, your ornaments will remind you of this first Christmas. . .
Sorry for the cheesy comment.
