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.
