We had a volunteer cedar growing too close to the house, and this weekend we decided it finally needed to come down. And voila! Christmas tree!
It’s a little too tall, but the top is very bendy. So we just curled it over. Somewhat Charlie Brown-esque. As is usual every year, Monster Girl is baffled by the sudden growth of a tree in her spot, but she’ll get in the spirit eventually. Probably that would happen faster if I stopped trying to put bows on her head. But she’s so cute!
Hope everybody’s holiday season is fresh and pleasantly scented!

Now our Christmas tree!

Slightly too tall…
Luckily, it’s bendy at the top
Monster Girl unappreciative of her bed being moved; yes, I’m using Irish Spring soap boxes to wrap gifts
Happy Holidays!

LOVE! Thanks for sharing your holiday hijinks, Jessa. We don’t do a tree inside in our current house, as we have a ficus in the only corner where the Christmas tree could fit. So I decorate the hey out of the rest of our great room, and fill a big glass bell with our prettiest ornaments.
