First Married Christmas Tree

Hubby and I decorated our Christmas tree tonight. On Monday, we went to a local tree farm and cut it down all by ourselves. Ok, that's not true. I picked it out, but Hubby cut it down and dragged it to the car. I can't say that my part in it all was that difficult, unless you think of the importance of the aesthetics of the tree. I mean, hello, a cute tree is important! It was of vital importance that we find a wild-looking tree. That way, you can nestle the ornaments among the branches, creating depth and the wonder of Christmas. I think we found as wild a tree as could be found on a tree farm full of shaped trees.

Now if only I could get the Christmas shopping done... or really, started. If I could start, that would be a huge step.

MA - Have you ever read "Atlas Shrugged"? Help! Also, you've officially been christened as "ma," which is a title I give very few people. Accept it with pride. ;-)

I have not, but I have read "The Fountainhead" and it was wonderful. I think you should take the plunge. Go get the book. She's an excellent writer. If you don't like it, you can always put it down and start something else. :)

--Ma.

Oh, duh. You totally told me all of this on MY blog. Maybe if I paid attention.

Sigh.

Thanks, MA!

The Fountainhead was wonderful, huh? Hmmmm ... quite a big commitment but I might have to put it on the list.

I'm here via Krista's blog.

My hubby and I had our first married tree this year, too. =) We cut it down ... and then it made me really sad to put it out on the curb this past weekend.

I like your blog - I'll be back!
