O' Christmas Tree! O' Christmas Tree! Thy Leaves are So Unchanging
Strange post title to have in February, isn't it? Well, I have a confession. Our Christmas tree is still up. Wait! Before you get all disgusted with me, let me explain. On January 2nd, I took down all the Christmas decorations while Jeff was out with some clients. I even took down the ornaments. However, tackling the 9 foot artificial tree was a job I just wasn't feeling up to doing on my own. So, when Jeff got home later that day, I asked him if he could take down the tree, and naturally, he said yes.
That was 39 days ago. And yet the tree still stands. At this point, it's become an issue of stubbornness with me. I'm interested to see just how long that tree remains in our living room, and whether or not I will cave in and take the dang thing down! This week, there was some progress, however. Jeff unplugged the tree, so it no longer clicks on at 5pm, warming us in it's cheery (if no longer seasonal) glow until 10 pm.
If I didn't hate Valentine's Day do much, I'd probably drape pink and red hearts over the tree. Perhaps I can find some of those egg ornaments for Easter?
