| I decided that since I'm celebrating Christmas with my girlfriend Melissa, I would buy a real Christmas tree. We went out on Saturday and bought the tree at St. Bernard's Parish in Newton, MA. It was an adventure securing it to Pearl's roof and then getting it home. Luckily we didn't have to go on the highway. I was surprised at how easy it was getting the tree up to my third-floor apartment. Here's what the tree looks like set up in my front room. Melissa provided the tree base. I hope that we'll have time to decorate it over the next week or two as our schedules seem to be getting more hectic as the holidays approach. |

One of the positive side effects of this little venture is that the normally stale-smelling hallway in my building now has a pine-fresh scent!
How much do trees cost in new england? We saw one on the roof of a truck here in ohio that said $45 and about passed out! We have a fake tree. Nicholas is allergic to real ones. Sigh.
