Well, we got our tree! The cutest little 4 ft tree you ever did see. As we were putting the tree in the back of Loren's RAV4, some friendly man called to us, "Hey, the tree is supposed to get tied to the top of the car, isn't it? Tradition!" True, but the tree would have been lost up there and we didn't have rope. We did consider taking the tree into Starbucks with us for fun, but chickened out in the end. We want to continue patronizing that Starbucks.
We cranked up some Christmas music and decorated it simply with white lights, a burlap garland, candy canes and a paper star that Loren made.
We did put a few other decorations out, but maybe I will save those for another post on another day. I love Christmas!
