Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

So, the day after Thanksgiving I decided not to go Black Friday shopping.  I used to go, and probably will again.  This year I wasn't feeling well, and was tired.  I HAD to get some sleep.  But on Thanksgiving evening my cousin texted me and asked if I wanted to go shopping later in the day.  Sure, as long as I don't have to get up early.  We walked into one store and they had pillows on sale for $2.97!  Now, we are finishing up our two extra bedrooms.  I decided we needed new pillows for those new bedrooms!  And Vickie needed a couple.  You should have seen us trying to hold ten pillows in line!  The carts were gone.  Finally, I saw a lady checking out that had a cart.  I went up to her and asked her if I could have it when she was finished.  Even then....we had to hold on to them.  It was hilarious. And we didn't get to the store until around 11:00 and they still had this deal.

My Shug and I went to Lowe's and bought a tree this year.  We used to go to a Christmas tree farm, but some of their trees got mold, so we started going to Lowe's.  They have a lot of choices, pretty good prices, and they bag them for you which makes them a lot easier to handle.

As many of you know we lived in our basement in one room for 3 1/2 years.  I told my Shug when we got out of that basement I was going to buy the biggest and prettiest tree I could find.

This year I did!

I had to help him carry it in, it was so heavy!

I love it!

I also bought an advent calendar which I think is just beautiful.  

Have you got your tree up yet?
