I love my pre-lit Christmas tree. Love Love LOVE IT. I would love it more if the lights were colored and flashed. But my tree is lovely. Originally I was going to set up on the first weekend in December but due to my Christmas party and Russ' birthday party, that weekend was booked solid. So, lo we set up on the second weekend. And frankly, it works. It's up for about 3 weeks and I think that's a good time. Not too long and not too short.
As always, John is so helpful. Thankfully we have a lot of non-breakable ornaments that are John-safe. All these ornaments are on the lower part of the tree. If you ever see the tree, you'll also notice that many of them are on the same branch as well! It's all good. John is helping, he's not touching the breakables and he's happy. That's all that counts.Dad helped with the "up high" ones. "Up high, daddy."
It took much longer than necessary to set-up and decorate the tree. John had to examine the decorations.
Huh. It is tilting to one side. I didn't think it was that noticeable.Obviously, my head is tilted.
Poor Riley.Riley: Just think happy thoughts. Happy thoughts.
"Other side, daddy" "Go up there"
Ho Ho Ho.
Charlie Brown: I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn't have picked this little tree. Everything I do turns into a disaster. I guess I really don't know what Christmas is all about.[shouting in desperation]
Charlie Brown: Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?
Linus Van Pelt: Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about.
[moves toward the center of the stage]
Linus Van Pelt: Lights, please.
[a spotlight shines on Linus]
Linus Van Pelt: "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.'"
