We usually get a live tree the weekend after Thanksgiving. Well this year, we were busy the weekend after Thanksgiving and the following weekend, Tom was in New Jersey. So this past weekend was the first chance we had to get a tree. Well Tom decided he doesn't want to mess with live trees anymore because they are too much of a pain to trim and everything. He wanted a nice artificial one. Well he found one at Lowe's that he wanted. Unfortunately there were none to be had in the Midlands. I called around and found one in Florence, which is about an hour and a half from our house. Well Tom was so intent on having this tree that he didn't care about the drive. He drove all the way over there and got his tree. Tom is a major perfectionist and didn't want a cheap looking tree. It had to look real. He picked a fantastic tree! It was the prettiest artificial tree I have ever seen! Because he is such a perfectionist, it took him a couple of hours to make the limbs just right, then he put the angel on top and now he is putting on the garland. He is very much like Monk. That garland has to be even all the way around the tree or it will drive him nuts so we always let him do it. That's what he is doing right now. Brittanie will hang all the ornaments on the tree. Then Tom pushes the tree in place and puts the tree skirt and train under the tree and it will be done. I will take a picture of it when it is done. Until then, here is link to the tree on the Lowe's website. Click here.
