First Christmas Tree

Our First Actual Christmas Tree
Bea and I picked out a tree (pre-cut) this evening and decorated it. We're both very excited to have our very own Christmas tree. Getting a tree on December 1st seems a little early for me because my family has been getting our trees a few days before Christmas for the past couple years. Since we setup ours so early, we can enjoy it for the whole month and then go to our parents' and enjoy those trees too.

We don't have too many ornaments yet. I spent the past two evenings or so sewing up some popcorn to string around the tree, and tonight we made a bunch of paper snowflakes for decorations. They compliment the white popcorn and white lights nicely. We are going to start buying an ornament each year so we can start a "family-unit" (ask my mom for a definition) collection.

Point(s) of Interest:
* Our tree stand came from Goodwill
* Our tree stand is completely made of metal
* Our tree is probably from the 70's
* Our tree stand only cost $3
* Our tree stand does not hold the tree up very well
