Getting into the spirit


I bought my very first Christmas tree! It is a whopping 32" high and boasts a colorful array of fiber-optic lights. I also purchased some tiny ornaments including some snow man heads that I am obsessed with (pictured below.) Aren't they ADORABLE?? My boyfriend and I spent a ridiculously cheesy evening putting up the tree and decorating it while listening to Christmas music and eating apple pie.

Downside: My cat has taken to chewing off the fake needles as well as pieces of the fiber optic glass! I bought some bitter spray stuff to put on it - which my boyfriend had to taste "just to be sure" and now cannot get the bitter out of his mouth. He's a smart one for sure. The bitter seems to be keeping her back for now, but I did find one of the cute snow men on the floor this morning! I would be devastated if she destroyed any of them. See, this is why I can't have nice things!

Anyway, merry whatever to all of you! I'll be coming home to Iowa in less than two weeks!
