The making of a Christmas tree.

This year I bought a Christmas tree for the first time ever. So, are they getting easier to put together? In the past we've always had to put each individual branch in a hole on the stem, but the one I bought was in three simple sections, and the branches just kind of fell down into place. I had to separate the smaller boughs and make everything look pretty, but wow - I love it when things get better and make more sense.

So anyway, it was important to start out with the necessary ingredients.









With those in place, putting together tree was a snap. :)











And after the strategic placing of ornaments that took far too long:



Happy Holidays! (Six days till Christmas, yay!)
