I didn't think I would ever do xmas but I must say that I kinda got into it and it turned out really nice for a virgin.
Put up my first xmas tree this weekend

We need a Christmas for Dummies book! The closest thing I found was a "holiday traning for dummies" book.
Anyway, Merry Christmas!

I can't post my Xmas tree photos here. Well, they did not turn as well as I'd like. I did not know how to decorate the tree. When I was in college, I purchased a scrawny little tree and went to the five and dime for ornaments. I did not know that you used hangers for the ornaments. So I just slid them on the branches. I will always remember that tree.
I love a fresh tree. When I don't have time to take it down promptly or the weather is too warm so the needles drop soon, my fears of a Christmas tree fire are huge. I love my tree and Christmas in general. Unlike others, I don't take it for granted. My tree is my statement as to what the WTBTS can do. The gaudy ornaments, in particular, deliver the message.
I am free!

Band, IL Torts class made you paranoid? My fear is glass tables .. . Just remember to turn off your tree at night and when leaving. A timer may help you.
I have had Xmas trees for about 11 years. Went real, then fake, and back to real. One year, I got little beetles with my real tree. I got rid of the beetles soon enough,with some Dawn water. Each year, you have to buy a few ornaments from your travels. kids, animals, clumsy me . . . they all break. I am always looking for ornaments. Went to SF this year, and brought back some trolley car ornamets.
