O Christmas Tree... Tear :( (NWR)

My FI and I bought these energy saving lights that change colors for the Christmas Tree. We loved them at first. After a while we realized that they were extremely dim. So tonight after he left for work I decided I had to take the lights off the tree and return them to the store before Christmas is over (if I would've waited I would've gotten 1/2 price because I threw the recipet away). In the process of taking the lights off the tree I knocked the tree completely over. It fell down and a good portion of the ornaments with it. Our tree now looks like it has fallen down a flight of stairs. My FI is at work and has no idea about the tree. He was already upset because I've been making fun of our tree, it's a live tree but I'm pretty sure it's been dead for a week or more. I didn't find a new set of lights I wanted and didn't feel like going to any other stores to find lights I did like. So now my FI is going to come home to our sad Christmas tree. I hope he won't be too mad!

  • I am sorry but this makes me giggle!
     
    I hope you guys can still be happy with a sad tree!
  • It's ok! I called his mom for advice on breaking the news to him and both his mom and dad laughed at the situation on the phone.

  • I am kinda sad we couldn't put ours up this year.  Our apt is too small :(

    But work put it up instead!
  • Hopefully he got a good laugh out of it.  It does sound like quite the story.  :)

    When I was about 12 we didnt have a Christmas tree because we just didnt have the money. I couldnt stand not having a tree so found money around the house, busted out my piggy bank and went to Rite Aid (Thriftys then) and bought one of those 1ft tall pathetic little fake trees. It wasnt much but it made it feel like Christmas. My mom still has the tree :o)

    So my suggestion to you is to go buy one of those little pathetic looking fake trees and some cheap lights/ornaments and make it Christmas in your house! <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />

  • I keep thinking of A charlie brown christmas, and the episode of Friends where Phoebe tries to save all the trees from their death in the chipper. I hope he took it well, and no matter the tree, it is still christmas.
