Couldn't take it anymore

I didn't know I was thinking this way, but I really did want a Christmas tree. I was cleaning and rearranging my office area a little bit - trying to find a permanent, out of the way home for the laser printer, an 18" square behemoth that I love as much as I can love any office tool - and ended up clearing a space large enough for our small pre-lit tree. I made a clean spot, stared at it for a couple minutes, and it came to mind that nothing else would do but to fill it with a 4', table-top tree.

We haven't decorated it, no balls, no tinsel, no candy canes. We'll see what Booplesnoot does with it, and if she can mind her manners, we might throw some tinsel on and see how it goes. For now, it's enough to have the glow of the lights and a place to put presents.

Ho ho ho.

Late to this post because LJ mobile is currently broken, but wanted to tell you how glad I am that you found that piece of holiday spirit. Christmas lights are my favorite part of the decorating. I like them everywhere.

Hoping your holiday was calm and pleasant. Merry Christmas. May 2017 be a very good year for you and your family.
