Decked Halls Part 2

For years I was anti-fake tree, but then I had a fake tree.

Umm, they are AWESOME!

They are easy to put up, they don't have to be thrown away, they are prelit and perfect!

I usually swirl a ribbon around the tree but skipped it this year.

I love vintage santas. A little more "Father Christmas" than "Santa Clause"

I bought these at Hobby Lobby last year,

in fact I bought EVERY vintage santa ornament I could find!

Many people neglect the under side of the tree, but it doesn't make sense to me!

Would you wear a skirt without underwear?! Okay maybe YOU would, but I wouldn't!

Until the presents pile up you MUST make it presentable. We have a train, a little family of penguins and a "trunk cover" (My own personal invention)

Buy one of those popcorn metal containers (a pretty one). Eat all the poporn. Cut the bottom out of the tin and slip it over the trunk befor you place it into the tree stand.

Voila! No more unsightly tree trunk!

The good thing today: I got my new tree skirt 50% off at Hobby Lobby! (can you tell I LOVE that place!)
