And I will post my picture of my tree as soon as I have completed intense negotiations with it.  My tree has declared a popular revolution and has assumed control of the northwestern quadrant of my living room, and closed the borders.

It seized control after I brought it inside, and realized the tree must have been baled for quite sometime because as the branches have continued to lay down, the tree has been growing wider and w i d e r and w  i  d  e  r.  It's a seven foot Frasier Fir, usually far better known for never being a particularly wide tree, but this one has bucked the trend, now wider at the base than I am tall.  It has also consumed more than ten light strings, not including the bubble lights I am still adding.  Garland is something that never looks right to me when I do it -- everyone else's looks better for some reason, but the tree ate my entire supply of that too.  And Christmas may be over before I am done decorating this thing.

Our couch has had to be repositioned on an angle because the tree kicked it out of the living room into the hall.

This is craziness.

It's ... it's ... it's ...

The Tree That Ate Phillip's Living Room!  :o

Good luck with it! I'm stuck with what I got--a four-foot "pre-lighted," "man-made" table top model (no cut trees allowed in high-rises).

But at least I'm bigger than it is. ...  ;D

Tree before tinsel is added and I mess around with the annoying garland for the last time, and a close up of an ornament or two.  The thing about this tree is that the left side is jammed up against the window (if you're wondering why the right side looks larger than the left).  The tree is completely enormous when it comes to width.  I am standing in another room completely trying to accomodate a shot of the whole thing.

I love those bubble lights. That's what my parents always had on their tree.

We got our tree up yesterday, but that is as far as it goes. No lights or decorations yet. Maybe this evening. We are still waiting for the branches to come down.
