I finally groped my way up to the attic (my ankle is healed enough to allow it now) and pulled down the Christmas tree I purchased a few years ago. It was well past time. I still have a couple of Halloween decorations hanging up—yeesh!
Being one to never let a good thing go to waste, I decided to take some pictures of my tree, as well as make a video showcasing the little guy in all his multicolored glory.
The tree setup is remarkably easy—it’s three pieces, with the stand and lights built-in. I had the whole thing assembled in about five minutes.
I then proceeded to decorate the sucker for about thirty minutes or so. It turns out that I have a lot of ornaments, some of which I didn’t even know I had. I’ve slowly accumulated them over the years from family, friends, and colleagues, and I had way more than I realized.
The latest addition is this ornament of Murphy, a gift from my sweet girlfriend:
I put together a video of the tree, and this thumbnail is priceless:
Finally, here’s a ton of pictures of the tree—and one of Murphy!
Merry Christmas!
