oh christmas tree, oh christmas, your tiara is so shiny….

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.
