So I got really excited on my way back to my apartment and school. I love this time of year! Christmas is coming and I get so excited about getting ready for it! So as soon as I was done taking my test today, I hurried home and pulled out my tree and ornaments and started decorating. I am a cheater and my tree is fake, I bought it two years ago, and the needles and branches on it are pretty sparse. This picture just doesn’t do it justice, obviously my tree must just be photogenic or something. I guess the camera really does add ten pounds.
My family has used artificial trees for as long as I can remember. Both of my parents loved the way that the real trees smelled and looked, but there was an incident when I was about 4, and after that they bought an artificial one. Now, one may be curious as to what happened with me and the tree, so I will tell you.
We had moved across the country earlier that year and I just had a little sister born earlier that year, so obviously, my little world was turned upside down. Well, I have this thing where I get ridiculously over attached to items, pets, whatever. It doesn’t happen very often, but somehow become extremely sentimentally attached to something. Once this happens, I cannot bear the thought of not having it. I have really only experienced this like three times in my life: the tree, a stuffed animal, and my puppy. Well seeing as we had a live tree that year, it was only a matter of time before it started to lose it needles and make a mess. Plus, you can’t leave a Christmas tree up all year long. So my dad took the tree out and put it by the garbage can for the garbage man to collect. I was not okay with this. I was crying, wailing, and just overall distraught/devastated about the fact that my parents would throw out my tree! So I threw a fit, got hysterical, and my parents have never bought a real tree again.
Yes, I really do love Christmas trees! I lost my tree skirt though, sad day! I guess that means I need to go out and get a new one. I was thinking maybe something white and sparkly/beaded. Please! Let me know if you have any suggestions!
This is My Life, Really?!
