Oh Christmas Tree

After resisting the urge to decorate for Christmas for as long as possible, I finally put the tree up the other day.

I bought this tree while I was in college on Black Friday for $10.  It is not the world's fanciest tree but I think it is sweet.  Someday I'm sure we will upgrade to a fancier tree.

Here it is, decked out in Christmas cheer, with Santa's favorite 4-legged helper.

Christmastime is someone else's favorite time of year.  I wonder how many ornaments will be missing this year?

18 days til Christmas!
