Oh, Christmas Tree

Last year on Christmas morning our tree was so wobbly, that we took it down as soon as the presents were opened. We did not want to take the chance of it crashing down will all the ornaments on it. It slowly went to the garbage man for the next few weeks. Yesterday I was watching some QVC (hey, there wasn't anything on TV!) and it happened to be a Christmas item day. I got on line, for QVC, and began looking at trees. I found what we were looking for - 12 foot, pre-lit, white lights, not too wide at the bottom, fairly reasonable price for the size, only $20 shipping - and showed Mike when he got home from work (remember my Grinch?). I was debating between that one and a 9 foot tree. We got out the tape measure to see how high each would come on the front wall in the living room. I wondered if the 12 foot was over -kill. Mike said he was fine with a grand tree. I wondered if he would actively participate in the decorating of the top part of the tree and was assured he would. The tree is now ordered and should be here next week. He says I can't put it up when it gets here, though. Bahh, Humbug.
