Who wants to AW their Christmas trees?
in Chit Chat
I'll go first. We chose a "little" one this year because we are having more people over and this way we don't have to ditch the couch somewhere and lose seating.
We also got the fig tree in on the action so it wouldn't be jealous.
So let's see 'em!

Re: Who wants to AW their Christmas trees?
We have a tradition of watching Die Hard while decorating (it is a Christmas movie, you know!). So, I like to get a pic of the tree with a shot of Die Hard in the background.
H and I have never had a tree, even though he really wants one. We just haven't gotten around to it. Maybe this year, but we don't yet know if we'll be where we're currently staying or if we'll have moved to a different home. Should know soon, so we'll see.
It's a little deceptive because FI is quite short and the perspective is a little wonky, but it was about 9 feet tall and probably 6-7 feet in diameter. We typically go for "fat" trees like this one, but this year we decided to try out "skinny."
Small, fake tree because H was worried the cat and/or dog would knock it over into the wood stove.
Here is our tree. It's our second Christmas in our house (our first house!), but we moved in 5 days before Christmas last year (which I do not recommend), so this is our first tree in our first house.
The guy who gave our tree a fresh cut at the bottom gave us the piece he cut off so we can make an ornament out of it (once the sap dries lol).
The random stocking hanging from the sconce was our puppy girl's. Her collar is on the mantel in this pic, but I have since hung it on the tree.
@cowgirl8238 I climb up there with a ladder. It's prelit and in 3 sections and the ribbons stay on.
