The week-long Christmas tree saga all began on Sunday night when I hauled the decorations up from the garage. Lindsay and I started putting the tree together, maybe had to restring the lights three times after Linds got a little gung-ho on the bottom section and ended the night with a tree that looked like this.

Yes, it's leaning to the right. The stand broke and that tree ended up in the trash can.
*Note: This is where I lost the Christmas spirit and gave up the desire to have a tree this year.Lindsay takes her
Christmas decor very seriously and came home the Monday night with a new tree. By Tuesday it was back in the box. It didn't make the cut.

Wednesday included some online tree research done by Lindsay and another tree purchase. This tree was pre-lit, which you'd think would be a bonus. Unfortunately the lights were multi-colored and those doesn't fly around here so those lights were stripped off.
When I got home from work today I saw this.

The third time was the charm and I must say it
does look charming.

Stupid tree.
it does look nice. see...i like how full it looks. mine looks too skinny. and i almost said no tree too when at first i couldn't get the star on and the garland was giving me crap.
maybe in a few more years, we'll get a fuller tree. :)
I think they say - "The third times the charm" or something like that. :) Your tree is beautiful!!
That comment was pretty stupid since that's exactly what you blogged. A senior moment I guess.
