This house has been my home for just over two years. Last year ( please keep this on the "DL), I cut down an evergreen shrub and put it in a pot for my Christmas tree. There's a row of them on the side of my house. I knew that I couldn't single-handedly carry a real tree from anywhere, let alone, make it straight,etc. The tree this year is from Home Depot. After riding through the city looking for a 5ft tree under $30 we finally, reluctantly drove to Home Depot. It was alot more anti-climatic, BUT, there it stood, the 5ft Frasier Fir, for only...$19.95! SOLD! Too bad it was 9:05pm and Home Depot was closed. We made sure they wouldn't sell out and made our way back the next day. What a fun day! And, to top it off, the sweet lady trimming the trees asked me (I must have been drooling over the wreaths) if I would like the left over trimmings. Would I??? Yes and yes I am one of those DIYs and can't wait to make my wreaths and cover my mantle. So, the adventure continued, and we (he-getting a tree is such a man job) moved furniture around and found a cozy corner, decorated, made hot chocolate, and enjoyed the results of all our hard work. My house feels more like a home than it ever has before, and smells like Christmas!
