i love the lights and they make wonderful night lights in the evening hours
my trees:
1. 3 ft silver fiber optic on the piano. when the fiber optic lites finally burned out i started wrapping a string of lights on it. i've had it for at least 20 years
2. 3 ft green traditional, just add a string of lights (in office)
3. 4 ft rope lite spiral indoor/outdoor tree that lives in the bedroom
4. 2 ft ornament tree (no lites--just pretty) that sits on a video cabinet in living room. (got it at michael's or target last year)
it isn't that i love xmas trees and xmas as much as i love the lights. i also have a string of lights around the big bookcase in living room and a string of lights wrapped around my headboard.
when i had my house there was always a string of lights around one of the kitchen windows and another around a doorway in the dining room.
i called them fairy lights
i also keep a lot of halloween (witchy/ghostie/vintage) up year round. i love autumn & winter. and snow! lol
putting up a big tree in early november? why not?
i haven't had a big tree since i moved to condoland nearly a decade ago (no place to store it inside and didn't have the stamina to be carrying it down steps to a detached garage)
enjoy the warm feelings, the love, the memories, and happiness your holiday tree brings to you.
