Christmas Tree

We have had a real tree every year since we have been married and every year I am beyond frustrated because it always dies by mid-December! I love it, feed it, give it all of the attention that it needs and it just dries up and becomes a big pain to clean up. SO, this year we decided to get a fake tree, and I love it already! Reasons why I love my new tree:

~ I didn't have to go to a lot to pick it out, which means we didn't have to deal with sales people. ~ It was so easy to put up AND the lights were already on it, so I saved a lot of time there!

~ I don't have to water it every day.

~ I KNOW that it is going to look just as pretty in one month as it does today :).

~ I don't have to clean up all of the pine needles every day.

~ I don't have to deal with getting rid of it at the end of December.

Yes, I really think that getting a fake tree is a good idea for us. It doesn't smell as good, but a nice seasonal candle will fix that :).

That said...we set up our Christmas tree this weekend. Christmas is by far my favorite holiday, so I wasn't going to waste any time putting up the Christmas decor once Thanksgiving was over. Noah was such a great help and he had so much fun putting the ornaments on the tree with me. Let the holidays begin :).
