I didn't think I was going to put a tree up this year in hopes we would be moving out of the apartment before Christmas, but it looks like it will at least be January before we move so the tree is up ... but really, what is Christmas without a tree?!
We have had this artificial tree for about 5 years. It is a decent size and has some pretty nice full branches. One major selling point was it is pre-lit; makes for super easy setup and teardown!
This year, however, our tree is struggling a little bit.
When the tree made the move from the farm to the apartment somewhere along the way one of the base stand pieces went missing. Last year the hubby and I used random items to prop it up and this year is no different. The book, the box and the chair are all needed in aiding the balance of this little tree. A new hiccup has been added this year … A Black Hole. Just a tiny little section of lights that didn't want to come back on this year. I know if I found the one bulb that is out and replaced it, the black hole would disappear but that is too many lights to check so I'm okay with the black hole!
Despite the struggles this tree has I'm so excited to see it up. Something about the glowing lights just puts me in the Christmas Spirit! {maybe next year a real tree will be in our living room}
Join me tomorrow to see what my favorite ornaments are and why!
