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!
I love the tree & the wall color especially, I’m so jealous. Congrats on your first very own tree.
Oh your tree is so pretty! Thanks for visiting me and I’ll be back to visit you soon!
Your tree looks lovely.
Thanks for stopping in to see me..
Merry Christmas!
Your tree looks great. Congrats on all the orders!
Your tree is very pretty-and so is the wall behind it.
Merry Christmas!
Thank you for visiting me! And what a lovely tree! I’m so jealous that yours is prelit. Mine is a handme down from my parents that has to be put together 1 branch at a time. Ugh!
What a PRETTY tree! Thanks for stopping by!
Great new pre-lit tree! We put lights on our tree the hard way.
I let Snuggle Bug decorate the bottom part of our tree as well. The only problem was is that he was more interested in taking ornaments OFF the tree, rather than putting them on.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and see my 2006 Christmas Tour of Homes decorations! I do appreciate it!
Merry Christmas to you!
Lovely tree!
We’ve only had the real ones, but I do see the charm in having it prelit and everything! If only the houses you buy came with pre-lit roofs! 
Thanks for stopping by today! Merry Christmas!
Your tree is lovely, just lovely – even the lower part!
I’m growing to appreciate our artificial tree.
Come by and see FrankenPine.
