Finally put the tree up today. It's one of those pre-lit ones that comes in 3 pieces. Easy set up.
The problem is mice got to it while it was in storage and chewed up the wires. So, no lights this year.

I'm seriously considering a tabletop tree next year. Maybe I'll leave it up all year and decorate it for every holiday.

This will be the first year that my Father won't be around to help us set up the tree at my family's christmas (stem cell treatment and clean room isolation for a month), so I'm going to have to figure it out myself this year, setting it all up and plugging in all of the lights and such when I get done with grad school for the semester and get home.

I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not looking forward to dealing with all of the little lights and the serial circuit problem with christmas lights.

I like christmas trees. I won't have one this year though.

EDIT: I might try to find a small tree. My sister and brother in law have the house so cluttered there is no room for a tree.

In all my adult life I have never had an xmas tree.

Oh Doc, your missing out. I have always had a tree. It's alot of work to put up, but I love just looking at it and laying underneath it. God I'm like an old lady or something. nevermind, you have the right idea.

I have to put the outside lights up when I get home this weekend. And we'll put the tree up with lights, but won't decorate it until the kid gets home in a couple of weeks. It's hard to get in the holiday mood when she's gone.

That's not old lady. Refusing to lay underneath it because you're afraid you won't be able to get back up, that's old lady.

Thank you I feel much better now. I'm putting it up this weekend and will be laying underneath looking up at it non-stop after that.

We go out and cut one down every year. I think I enjoy it more than the kids, although they love the hot chocolate.
