The Chestnut Tree

Reading Michael's entry about trees made me feel all warm n' fuzzy! The first year at the house we bought a skinny 7.5ft artificial tree, and it looked great. That January I found a white-snowy one from Martha Stewart at half off, so now we have 2. The following year we used the green one again. This past weekend we finally opened the box from the new tree and assembled it. hmm...

The tree's all white and we decorated it with these colored glass ornaments bought from the glass store... that was 2 years ago [or was it 3?!?] during our trip to Washington State visiting Alec's parents. His mom took me to the Museum of Glass one afternoon but it was closed that day... waaaaaaaaa! But oddly enough, the store remained open! So anyway, we never put up these particular bulbs since they don't show up very well on the green tree. Oright, back to the tree bit... so I'm thinking the white tree definitely lacks the 'warmth' that a green one gives, whether it's real or fake. That's my take. We're not quite finished decorating though, so maybe I'll post a picture later. A white tree is different.

'nuff about that. sheesh! This post really isn't about my damn trees, it's more about Klaus's take on the song Der Nussbaum! I believe I heard a version on one of my Christmas CDs before. Not sure if it's an actual 'holiday' track or not... but I love it... yet I love Nomi more! Have a great week everyone!

White tree? Are we talking Lord of the Rings here or something? :)

Maybe you can put all your trees up and have a Christmas forest or something? I don't have any trees... haven't really had one since I was a kid.
