O’ Christmas Tree!

I’m late putting up my Christmas tree this year.  Usually I try to do it around Dec 1st,  but this year life got in the way.  So yesterday, Joe and I went shopping for the perfect holiday tree.  We visited about 3 grocery stores, 2 superstores,  a hardware store and one drug store, all places where trees are normally sold.  This year, no tree in sight.

One place did have a few live trees to pick from, but they were scrawny and only 2 feet high.  Somehow, it just doesn’t work for me, so we continued our search.

Finally, today we had success!   We located a tree farm and purchased a lovely 8 foot tree.  We brought it home, set it up, then pulled out the decorations.  Here’s a picture of one of my ornaments, a sock monkey cow:

Now, all I have to do is wrap presents, and I’m all ready to celebrate the big day!

How are you celebrating the holiday, either Christmas or Hannukah?

Hugs, Carla
