. . .to decades past, we’ve decided to go a different direction this year than we’ve gone for Xmas decos for, oh, maybe 12 years or so. For a bit more than a deco, we’ve not had any sort of traditional Xmas tree, not even the artificial tree we purchased about 30-*mumble* years ago, One year we just decided to pull a lil 2′ tall artificial tree w/LED lights out from behind the TV where it generally serves as backlight, and then shove it back behind the TV for the rest of the year. That’s worked well for ~ a decade or so.
This year,
It’s a start, anyway. we have created a feeling of more room by eliminating a bit of furniture, so it was pretty easy to add an artificial tree back into the mix. *shrugs* Yeh, it lacks the presence of a real tree, but it’s less messy and doesn’t create yet more wood waste to process with out chipper-shredder. It also packs more compactly than our old artificial tree.
I need to donate old artificial tree to the local thrift shop. with a lil TLC, I imagine someone might benefit.
And no. Before you e ven ask or comment, it is not too early to put up decos inside. Outside is a different matter, but I think we’ll limit that to just a nice wreath on the door.
