oh christmas tree, oh christmas, your tiara is so shiny….
December 3rd, 2006 | by the insider |The Chop and I got a Christmas tree yesterday.
It’s kinda short, but perfect for the size of our apartment.
Sadly, it’s also a little bare, as somehow I forgot I have very little ornaments… eight, to be exact (and one is a glass octopus with two legs broken off).
See, last year I had a couple dozen white, gold and silver glass balls that covered my tiny little, pre-lit tabletop tree.
And then, one night, Ellie knocked that tree off the table and onto the hard floor and the next morning, I had four little glass balls left.
So this year, after we put up the lights, I hung those four little balls, the octopus, two snowmen and the tiara (on the top), and realized that our tree was pathetic.
Then I added the candy canes I don’t like (JellyBelly makes a cotton candy one, but it comes in a pack with cherry cherry and pear, so there are 16 to hang) and voila! it almost looks like a real tree.
A little.
The tiara is a little weird; I need to go to a store, lol.
