The tree stand, however - $38. I was pleasantly surprised with the price of the tree – only $14.99 from the Home Depot parking lot. The tree stand, however – $38.

(Our trick is to get it the day before Christmas Eve. There's a chance the prices are reduced dramatically, so you can get a decent size for a fraction of the cost.) I keep saying I want to get an artificial tree, cause I hate cleaning up the mess, but Joe insists on a real one. So, real one it is. =) It would seem our tree keeps getting bigger and bigger each year, though I’m satisfied with just a simple 5-footer. (Our trick is to get it the day before Christmas Eve.

My Mom mentioned that she has a box of mine hidden away somewhere at the house. Next year we will plan ahead and have a decorated tree!

Yay for Christmas spirit! :) Mr. Pickles & I got a tree our first Christmas together -- it was a Charlie Brown tree if ever there was one, but it was OUR FIRST and looked so pretty when all decorated up with my one little box of decorations and one little string of lights. We didn't have a star or an angel, so I made one out of colored paper and a popsicle stick -- it has the place of honor on our tree yet! Mr. Pickles won't let me get another one. Awww. Yay for Christmas spirit! :)

I like the tree. It's very pretty. It also looks like Moxie has found a new hiding place behind the tree! Great post! I like the tree. It’s very pretty.

We gave Dave a unique Christmas ornament each year as he was growing up. If his collecton is still here, we'll sent them to you to hang on your very first Christmas tree as a married couple.
