We got our tree a little early this year. Typically we wait until closer to xmas, because the tradition of my family is to decorate the tree on xmas eve and leave it up for ages afterwards. Once it was up ’til Easter, no lie! Of course, Easter was early that year. Still, it was regularly up until Valentine’s Day, and quite crunchy + brown by then, too. Mmmm, crunchy tree.<\/p>\n

(That never happens now that I’m a grownup, because we like to take the tree to Mulchfest<\/a> the weekend after New Year’s so we can watch the trees get fed into the ginormous chipper + drink hot chocolate. Good times!)<\/p>\n

ANYway, so we got our tree last weekend. It’s a bit bigger than we usually get, too, pretty chubby and about 7 feet tall. Thanks to last month’s Home Improvement Fest there’s even room for it in the living room.<\/p>\n

It’s a beautiful tree, chubby + tall as it is, but MAN is it dropping the pine needles! We water it and water it and water it and it still drops needles. It doesn’t seem to be any worse for the loss, so I’m not that concerned with it lasting ’til xmas day. But I’m tired of sweeping up needles, like some sort of xmas needle-Cinderella. Just call me Needlerella!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
