I put up my fake ass Christmas tree last night.
I was looking at this thing as I was assembling it and laughing at myself. I mean. It isn't just fake. It's ultra fake. It's a "fir" tree, but the fir is tiny strands of green shredded paper. While I was in Virginia for Thanksgiving, my sister dragged me to The Home Depot to check out their trees (real and fake) and there was a beautiful fake one that almost looked real...FOR TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS! I mean, I guess its worth it if you are going to die with your fake Christmas tree, but damn!
I will say my fake ass Christmas tree makes me super happy. Every ornament, except the glass balls, have so much meaning behind them. I want more, but you can't just buy them. People have to gift them to you (which honestly, is the reason I give ornaments for Christmas, you'd think someone would have caught the hint by now, but I have zero ornaments to show for it). This year, my sister gave me a a pink Barbie Christmas tree ornament. It's got little shoes as ornaments. I LOVE IT! The Georgia Aquarium one she gave me last year is hanging proudly on there, too.
I love Christmas!
