O' Christmas Tree (sort of)

Todd won a major battle in our home last night. For 9 years we've battled it out over purchasing fake or real ones....(trees of course).

Last night, he purchased our first artificial tree. He didn't fall for the "let's get a real one and then we'll buy a fake one at the end of the season when they go on sale" line this year. In the past, he fell for it, and seeing as he never goes shopping after (or before) Christmas, I simply never purchased one and the argument ended until the following December.

Not this year.
He's getting much wiser.
My tricks don't work anymore.

So here we are. Decorating our first fake tree.
I will say this: not having needles all over the floor is nice.
I will also say this: I miss the smell.




O' Artificial Tree,
O' Artificial Tree,
How artificial are thy branches.
Thy needles will not cover my floor,
My baby will not choke on them,

But I miss the smell,
I miss the smell,
How artificial are thy branches.
