christmas tree

We don't do Christmas trees very often, mostly out of sheer laziness and because we don't have a lot of holiday decorations.

Nowadays, there is simply no room in our little abode for a Christmas tree, and the animals would have a heyday with one anyway.

This number deserves to be added to the Pinterest Fail collection, but I still love it regardless. I'm one of those people that leaves Christmas lights up year-round because I love their glow and soft ambiance (and they make for excellent lighting when you're not yet ready to actually turn on a lamp in the early morning).
