• yet another christmas tree…

  So once again in my daily hourly half-hourly, quater-hourly perusal of the stuff-for-sale-or-free web sites, I came across a christmas tree for sale “ready to go with lights and decorations $25″ well I thought this to be a great deal and so I went to collect it.  Well, as the price sticker was still on it from (according to the seller) two years ago, and it said $59.97 for the tree.  And the decs??  Well that was a small box of about 12 balls and a small bundle of wired, metallic ribbon.  There were four strands of fifty lights or so in a shopping bag, and one to be found in the box so in total five strands.  Okay all in all this was not all that bad of a deal.  The tree is not missing any parts (unlike the free one I picked up in early October which is missing more than the two I was told about!) and I only spent about $30 more on decs and some more lights.  I would say it is our Charlie Brown christmas tree, but it is a lot more full of branches than that, but at the moment, it is just a little bare…lacking decs.  BUT! that will come.  We moved this year about a distance of 6000 miles or so and our stuff hasn’t caught up with us yet.  But the children had a grand time putting the decs on and some times that’s all that counts!

  

  (yes the “tree faery” missing …. “right now she is busy helping other wee children to set up their tree and will then come and find her home on our tree” ~ well they bought it! read Mammy was not paying $15 for one! even if it did have fiber optic lights and glowed from with in.)
