House looks great! Tree is up and totally decorated! Whoop! Whoop! Although, I do think it's time to invest in a new tree. When we lived in NY, MD and OH we always had real trees. However, the year after my grandfther passed away, we decided we needed to go artificial (my grandfather passed away in mid-December. We left Cincy and drove to PA for the funeral and on to NY for the holidays and came home after New Years. When we got home, every single pine needle had fallen off, the tree was basically a stick and all of my ornaments slid off the bare branches and crashed on the ground). So, we've had this tree for about 15 years now and it's started to get a little wonky looking.
It's not this bad looking (see photo below) but it is starting to look a little Charlie-Brownish. There seems to be some big spaces in between the branches and I try to fill the void. Martha Stewart said to hang ornaments farther back on the branches to "create depth" so that's what I did with plain silver, red and green glass ball ornaments.
Still have to finish setting the dining room table. I can do that this weekend, no worries. I'm having some friends over Monday night and haven't planned my menu yet so I'll do that this weekend, too. I'm thinking fondue!
