Well, we did it - a week early too! We put up our very first Christmas tree!!!!!!!! We had a lot of fun picking everything out - and had an interesting time at K Mart (side note - they had Martha Stewart trees on sale for one day but did not have them in stock yet! Don't waste your time!!!!) We really put a lot of thought into the decorations we wanted to use - we decided on deep purple, gold, and silver for our big ornaments (plain balls of color). We then picked out our first Christmas ornament from Things Remembered - as well as a few others. Growing up, my family always bought one ornament a year and added it to the tree - I think we're going to carry on that tradition. We did pick a few this year because there were so many to chose from - an Office ornament, a cute pig (for no other reason than it was cute!), a cheetah print shoe, and a cute martini glass with two olives that says "Olive You"! Get it??!!!
I am firmly set on purchasing a holiday pig for our front yard - it boasts twinkling, clear lights and a Santa hat. I think it's a must. I am also trying to convince Chris that we need the light up Santa flamingo - but it's a no go as of now. He wants to see what our neighbors do - I say we throw caution to the wind (as well as our association rules!) and buy the pig! It could be worse - I could have asked for the Christmas hippo.
