Uhm... I went grocery shopping and this happened...

I just saw him there (the Christmas tree is a he) and he needed a home, I know it's November but... look how bushy! 

So much to the annoyance of the boyfriend I got him, and took him home for Mr Pussycat to inspect thoroughly. 

Lovely and bushy... we're away over Xmas so I need to make the most of our tree. And he has a nice little pot so we I can keep him nice and healthy. 

I found this in the Christmas decorations bag too, mwahaha. 

Also the boyfriend and I got his and her mugs because they were on sale. They didn't have a Mario so the boyfriend got Yoshi. 

The Tree Is Up

The tree is up, we got a nice  bushy tree this year. 

As always we had the argument of real vs fake, the boyfriend is in favour of a fake tree but I just think they're so ugly and tacky so I won out and we got a little potted tree. Hurrah!

(Not so) expertly decorated. 

To be, or not to be (green)? That is the question

Every year I am just so excited to buy a Christmas tree. I love the smell, I love the look, I love to decorate it and whats more... Barclay loves it too...

But like clockwork... every year I am heartbroken to get rid of my lovely tree. I leave it as late as possible and last weekend (much to mine and Barclay's regret!) we had to take it to the dump where it gets chipped and mulched... oh my poor tree.

I loathe fake trees and my family has never had them, I think they look tacky and fake but I feel awful with my lovely trees being chipped and mulched in the dump! What a waste of a tree to be used for a month, especially when I always get potted so they don't die.

So next year... I may do the unthinkable and get a .... *shudder*... fake tree. Bleurgh. Or perhaps no tree at all. I really do hate fake trees. :(
