I got the Main Tree up yesterday. The same artificial tree we, as newlyweds, spent way too much on at Dillards when I worked there. (I'll never forget that day, it was the day after Christmas, and people were CRAZY over the Christmas trees--luckily I grabbed mine up fast, but it was still $400 at half price...and one man, he was fighting over a tree with another man, and suddenly he pointed at the man and shouted (at the top of his lungs, mind you) :
"I CURSE YOU FOR YOUR SELFISHNESS!! I CURSE YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY! MAY YOU NEVER HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS WITH THIS TREE!!!"
And no, I'm NOT kiddding. It was that crazy. But anyway, we got the tree, and here we are, ten years later and it still looks fabulous. And I still have all the same decorations I bought ten years ago, including the ribbon. This tree has looked the same for a decade, and it's practically an antique. I lurve it.)
ANYWAY, it looks very nice in the Great Room.
So, one down, two to go. But sadly, I have to work today, tomorrow, and the next day (tis' Christmas time you know!) and I won't be able to get any more trees up until the weekend, at the earliest.
I found all the Christmas CD's, and I was listening to them as I trimmed the tree (I sort of ran out of lights at the top) and it was really nice. I just think it's funny because my kids LOVE Johnny Mathis. I grew up listening to him at Christmas, and so are they. Luckily Hubby likes him too. But even if he didn't, I'd still play my Johnny CD. ;-)
Ugh, the boys are running around in their underwear upstairs and whacking each other with their shirts. Time to intervene!

It looks lovely! I'm getting mine up this weekend as well :)
That is GORGEOUS!
You do that all yourself?? Sheesh!
I LOVE the green on the walls that I am sssuming is your front entry?? VERY nice.
That is unreal what that man said to the other when you bought the tree. What is wrong with people, anyway?? How sad!
Ah yes...your boys. If you go to my blog you will see recent photographic proof of my boys being boys:) Still sure you want the baby to be another boy??:) teehee
Oh, that green room is actually the casual dining room. We can look at the tree while we're eating.
;-)
Ah, so that Great Room must be on the back of the house?? I just love seeing into other people's homes. Your's is stunning. I am in love with the doorway, that wood!?! GORGEOUS!
Thanks so much for sharing! I have shown all my kids the photo of your tree and now they are freaking out, ready for us to put our's up! LOL
