Did My Tree All By Myself

Hi Grandpa Bob,It's me your old friend!! I haven't been to mylot land in ages, but thought I'd drop by! I'm so glad I did, and it's great to see your still here and posting away!! I think you did a great job on your tree!! My husband, daughter, and I just did our tree last weekend, it is a little earlier then usual but I needed something to get me into the Christmas spirit!! Congratulations and a pat on the back to you for a job well done!!

We used to always have a real tree, the bigger the better. Now I have just a small table top size tree since I don't have room for a big one at this time. It already has lights on it too so that much is done when I take it out of the box. I have not put mine up yet, my daughter just left today and we just visited and had a good time. Something special about my tree?? The only ornaments that go on my tree are ornaments that I have bought for grandkids. It started when my first granddaughter was born. Now I have enough grandkids and ornaments that they are all I use. Right now I just use ones from the past few years since the tree is smaller.

Oh your picture looks lovely. I put my tree up yesterday. It isn't much and not very big. But it will work for what we need it for. Today between the tree and everything on it. I have had to only spend about 5 bucks at the max. I also added some decoration around the blinds in the living room and a decoration on the front door.

I would love a real tree but since my apartment is so small all I put up is a very small fiber optic tree, it lights up pretty nice. I go to where they sell the real trees and they give me a branch that has fallen off one of the trees and I put that on top of my radiator and when the heat comes up you can smell the pine.

Congratulations on getting that tree up! Looks very nice. I'm thinking about buying me a new 6 foot one this year. Mine is a big 4 foot one that I set on my big square coffee table in the living room in front of my picture window. We live far enough off the road that nobody knows it isn't a large tree. But I know.

By the way, I commented on the picture of the tree. And, the minute I clicked to comment it tells me that I made the comment 11 minutes ago! I could not believe it. I think the time clock is wrong here.

That is great. I am always the one to put our tree up all by myself every year. My husband and dauighter do not get into doing stuff like that, like I do. I have an artificial tree to use each year also. I wrapped some of the presnts and my daughter and husband wrapped theirs too.

That is quite a beautiful tree grandpa. I have a Christmas card for you.I just put my 6 foot artificial one up on the glass top table.This is the third Christmas I have put up this tree. Its fiber optic, and thats about all that is special about it. You are a really great illumination expert Granpa....gorgous tree, and the wraping looks great too.

Your wife must have had a lovely surprise when she finished cooking dinner and saw the finished effect. Well done to you! We don't have a tree this year. My daughters have to work on Christmas day and won't be coming home (they live 4,000 and 2,000 kms away) ... we'll have to have special Christmases with them later on in January.

Aren't you on the ball! nah, our tree is not up yet. We usually go to the woods (or farm) and cut one on the anniversary of my birth - December 2nd. But, I think we will wait a little longer this year as our son is away at college and won't be home till a little later....

your wife is fortunate that you take such initiative... my husband usually goes to be when we put up everything. he just can not handle it. it is, for some reason, too stressful for him.

Hi Grandpa Bob! That is really an exquisite ornament. I was really
looking at and I can't figure out how she was able to make such
an intricate looking piece! She truly had quite the artistic
talent! I guess you take after her! She really did some beautiful
work with ornaments and those houses that she had sewn. I wish I
could do stuff like that! You are very lucky to have kept them and
in such perfect condition for all these years! That alone is amazing!
I hope when they are passed down through the family that they will
alway be kept in such perfect condition! Thanks for showing us these
beautiful pieces of your family treasures.
