I’m making this my Christmas Tour of Homes post because alas, I’ve been too busy with orders to decorate more than my tree. I had such fun with the previous Tour of Homes that I couldn’t resist doing this one!*
Nevermind that Lil’ Duck decorated the bottom half, especially the random bits of snowflake ribbon, or that the bookcases behind fail to contain all the clutter in my life. Presents are coming soon, I’ve been too busy to shop or wrap, but I anticipate having more time next week.
I’m just thrilled to have bought my very own tree this year – in the past we have had various hand-me-down fake trees, including a memorable pre-baby year where we literally broke the white tree that has been in my family since I was little. I guess hanging several heavy ornaments on a three-foot tree really wasn’t the way to go. Then there was the hand-me-down tree from the in-laws attic which made me sneeze incessantly, despite vacuuming it several times, that also fell apart at odd intervals.
This year, not only is it a brand-new, 100% ours tree, but it is also pre-lit. No more wrapping, untangling, bulb-finding, tree-tipping nightmares for us, only a beautiful plugging in of the perfectly placed strands and light for all! I’m definitely loving it just for that (storing it might be another matter, but it does fold up nicely back into its box).
Leave me the link to your own tour in comments and I’ll come visit you!
pre lit is sooooo smart isn’t it? we don’t have one, but I hate getting the lights up, so I sure would appreciate it!
Congratulations on the purchase of your very own tree! It is lovely! Merry Christmas!
Pre-lit is the bomb!
Merry Christmas!
Lovely! And what a great wall color!
Your tree is beautiful! Thanks for sharing, I hoping to purchasing one of those pre-lit trees one of these years at a fantasic after chrismas sale! No lights to untangle sounds like a dream come true! This year we bought a real tree from some friends who have a small christmas tree farm.
Hope you can stop by!
Yeah for new trees! Especially if you don’t have to string the lights yourself. That is my least favorite part of the holiday.
Merry Christmas.
What an adorable tree! And I love your custom cards. Something to remember for next year. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Merry Christmas!
Pretty tree, Mama Duck!
We don’t have a tree this year since we’re on the road for two weeks starting Tuesday! Merry Christmas to you and the rest of the Duck family!
Lovely tree. I wish I could get a prelit real tree!
Good luck with all the busy-ness!
Pretty as a picture! I like the ribbon garland. Merry Christmas! e-Mom
