To be clear, our main tree is fake that we've had for a few years.

The table top tree is a 2.5 foot tree (real) for the bedroom.

I have a tendency to find the prototypical "Charlie Brown tree" along my property line that can't hold more than a few ornaments. Makes me happy, is a discussion piece, and one can talk about what matters.

I could never find a fake one I like. The biggest problem is the lights. I use colored lights and not white. I like white lights and all but I like multi-colored ones for indoor.

I'm sure I'd enjoy it, too. :D :D

Had Nantucket Bay scallops in an orange citrus sauce over pasta tonight. It is a phenomenal recipe. And then we had homemade caramel sauce drizzled over bananas and ice cream. YUMMY!

I'm now eating my special Ferrero Rochers imported during my trip to ZRH.

I got a table top tree at Wegmans.

Wanted to put the tree up tomorrow, but still putting the kitchen back. :rolleyes:

am hoping to put up my tree this weekend, as well (it's artificial)!^ I want to have it all done for when my 2 yo niece comes for T'giving next week!:cool:

Am just eating main course now -- decided to add smoked chix to a portabella mushroom red wine sauce over whole wheat pasta!:-:

I'm talking true "Charlie Brown" tree - each branch holds one handcrafted ornament.

Dinner tonight was pasta from Tuscany with olive oil, prosciutto, bread crumbs and parmesan cheese tossed around. Would have been :cool: but I undercooked the pasta. :rolleyes::o:mad:.
