I'm Not Opinionated

Daniel's National Lampoon's Christmas!

I decided that I really missed my Christmas tree this year and that I really wanted to put it up. My roommate has his own Christmas tree and since it is his house...he put it up downstairs. Several of my friends have multiple trees up this year so I decided it would not be a problem for us. I put up my 7.5 foot tree in my room. It looks great...now....I will post pictures later...hopefully tonight.

Let me regale you with the story of putting up my tree this year. It started on Monday. Rachel and Pam had come by to help and Rachel's sister and niece came over as well. Let me begin the story with some back story. When Brian, my roommate, was putting up his tree, he was missing his tree stand and borrowed mine. No problem, I just went to Kmart and picked up a stand. They only had a stand for a real Christmas tree but I thought it would work. Well, we started to put up the tree and it was unstable in the stand but we thought once we got the branches on evenly it might be ok. Wrong. Our next thought was to use wood pieces to stabilize the base in the tree stand....and that seemed to work. We got the lights on the tree...and most of the ornaments....when.....down came the tree. I was so mad but could only laugh because there was a two year old in the room.

I went to Wal-Mart and bought a new stand. On Tuesday, I took everything....ornaments....lights....everything off of the tree and started over. It looks great!!! It even has a present waiting for me. My gift from Shannon and Jaymeson! I am trying my best not to open it before Christmas....I can't wait!!!!
