And I am sure Elfie had quite a story to tell Santa about the Christmas Tree assembly. How often do you think it is that someone puts together a tree and has extra pieces? In particular extra branches without any obvious graping holes. Unless you know where to look that is... Note to tree makers: my husband cannot "count" letters. Particularly when the lowest branches begin with the letter "K" It took me 2 minutes to convince him that F was indeed the letter before G...
As it turns out he managed to skip the bottom ring of the tree (uh... more room for presents right!?!). And as you go up the higher branches require less pieces. So somewhere around F we ended up with more branches than spots to put them. A theme that would continue on throughout each subsequent row. And then to top it off he also tried to putt the "B" branches on top of the "G" branches. Thankfully I noticed as I was fluffing the first one so we didn't have to pull a bazillion branches back off the tree.
Once the tree was up Kevin suggested that I pick up new LED lights for the tree vs. trying to figure out and fix the variety of old lights in various states of disrepair. Luckily Walmart was open and had some LEDs to try out. I actually thought they turned out pretty nice.. Now if only there was a way to make them flash...
