Now THIS is what a small tree should look like!

So I took the curtains back to Target yesterday morning, then made the "mistake" of going downstairs to look at their Christmas section.

They had all their trees on for half price, most sold out. All reasonably priced and all, IMO, lovely. Actually, they have the nicest trees, for the best prices, that I've seen anywhere around town. And I've been looking.

They had a 4.5 foot Virginia pine for $32.50 and I couldn't resist. THIS is what a small tree should look like, and it was worth it to me, I feel happy looking at it.  :-)

 
 
The other little tree is now upstairs on my landing, looking cute with all its old-fashioned ornaments (pics on another camera, not yet downloaded).

And that's it for my holiday decor.

I had "help" from the boys putting this up.  :-)
 

Back to work now...I woke a few times in the night, thought it was still Sunday. Alas, the "break" is over.  :-)

Wishing everyone a good day...Purrs from the boys and peace from me.

Just starting to catch up, came to your blog first. Wow, what a lot of work you've accomplished in the past week! No wonder you were tired and sore.

The tree looks so good - what a fantastic price. Maybe I do need a second tree...though my kids will think I'm nuts the cats will be happy with more ornaments. :P

Hugs for Nicki and Derry!

The tree is gorgeous and I'm sure at night when you can really get the ambiance from it, it is gorgeous!

That is a very pretty tree, and I like your decoration of it. Did it come with lights attached? I have one that has the lights integral to it, but my problem is putting on the ornaments; I can do it, it's just that they look rather ragged. Yours look very well placed, proportionate. They make your tree look like it should be in a shop window. Well done.
Simply beautiful tree! How lucky you are to have two of them. Such cute little helpers too.

Yes, the tree came with 150 mini lights, first time I've had a pre-lit tree.

BTW, I suspect my credit card company is feeling lucky to have me for a customer after this weekend's spending. Though I was, perhaps, foolish with the tree purchase. I wouldn't have spent full price on it, even though I think it would be worth it, value-wise.

Your tree is lovely.
We haven't had a tree for some years now - our Bella would climb inside the tree and swat the baubles off... she died of cancer and I haven't had the heart for one since.
I suspect these days it would be Poppy who would do the investigatoring
That's a nice tree! I'm not sure if I'll be putting up the Christmas tree this year. But who knows, I just might change my mind when I see more pretty Christmas trees. ;)

How nice of Nicki and Derry to help with setting things up.
