On days that I like to live dangerously, I put a ladder up there and bring down boxes of treasures. This time there was a box that I could not have reached if I'd stood on the highest shelf which was a little out of reach for me to step up to. I knocked that sucker down with an extension pole meant for use with a paint roller. Miraculously, nothing broke. I still haven't seen everything I remember as being there, but I've glimpsed ancient treasures. I brought in Christmas Cactuses and set some candles around and plugged in some lights stuffed in glass vases. Festive!

If you did decide to take your tree out of the box and plug it in, your pre-lit tree would be pretty without any decorations. But of course, you would have to put it back in the box. It sounds like a no stress holiday is in your future. :) Have a wonderful Christmas and the best New Year possible.

I was serious when I said that you and Loree are an inspiration to me and agree that it doesn't have to cost a lot to create something truly gorgeous! I certainly was not judging your style as anything other than glorious; mostly, I was poking fun at my own sloth. I'm so sorry if I hurt your feelings in any way!
