On The Blogging BandwagonDecember 4, 2006 Hmmm...I wonder how many other blogs are going to mention putting up a Christmas tree over the weekend. Most, maybe? BUT OUR'S IS UNIQUE, I SWEAR! At least we like to think so. I would like to mention that I think it's really too early to put up a tree, but we don't want to repeat the mistake we made last year. We went tree shopping too late, and we didn't get much of a selection. |

Let me first mention that I think I'm getting old. *cue old lady voice* I remember the day when Chris and I went tree shopping, and we felt like we were getting a really expensive tree for $60! And it was a big, pretty tree, too. Why, young folks today have no idea about the cost of trees. *end old lady voice* The last line about young people was totally unnecessary. |
 |
Okay, back to why our tree is unique. The symmetry. The slightly OCD part of me loves it. This tree may be the most perfectly-shaped tree we have ever had. |
 |
Next... Unlike most people, we will never store any presents under the tree. That is because of the bad dogs. Here is a Christmas card I had made back in 1998 when it was just me, Ike, and my two kitties. Can't trust animals around a tree. Click on image for big. |
 |
And the last reason that our tree is unique... I didn't make this mitten, but for years I have intended to replace this one with a handknit. |
 |
From a distance, it looks like the tree is waving to us. Hello, tree! Unique? Well, unique enough. |
 |
Chris had to wake up early for a 5am conference call this morning. Here are Lou and Ike trying to snuggle with him while he talks to Singapore or something... |
 |
Later in the call, Chris gave up his seat to Gus and Ike. Announcement! The Christmas CD Contest was won by Pink Sugar Princess Rosie, which means I get to send a CD Down Under. The Random Number Generator picked "9", and she was the ninth person to leave a comment. Congrats, Rosie! |
