![]() ![]() (Can you tell from above that I painted the walls finally in the family room? Because I did!) All this aluminum tree buying and selling got me thinking logistics so here’s a ramble about some things to keep in mind if you are thinking of switching to the aluminum side… ![]() ![]() I found a 7 footer (above) for a decent price and jumped on it. Our old tree (shown awkwardly below) was a 6 footer that was dwarfed by the 9′ ceilings of our current home, where I’m hoping we will live for such a long time. Last year, with a little sadness, I sold the old tree that’s been with us since our first Christmas and upgraded to a larger one. Nobody keeps aluminum in a box in December! My spouse thinks this is excessive, but I think double trees is double good. Once kids came along, we’ve done the real Christmas tree thing some years…but always in addition to the aluminum one. I’m not being Grinchy – it’s just that this time of year is my favorite and I’m uncomfortable with how fast things are moving. Is this what getting old feels like? Anyways, reluctantly I’m Christmafying the house and there’s really only one way to do that up right: aluminum trees! A vintage tree joined us many, many years ago and we’ve never been without one since. I can’t seem to sync myself with the holidays this year! It feels like Halloween should have just passed and everyone should put their Christmas decorations away for a few weeks. ![]()
