putting the knit in shizknitz

Last year, I got to experience a live Christmas tree. We went to the lot, picked one out, tied it to my car, drove it home, dragged it up the stairs, set it up and cleaned up the mess. After the Holidays, we purchased a saw, sawed it into pieces, and cleaned up the mess. As much as I enjoyed a real tree, I couldn’t go through with it again this year. While home at Thanksgiving, I found the cutest package at the Vons up in Oakhurst. Now you’re probably wondering what on earth I found at the local grocery store - it was a potted baby tree (replant after the holidays!), a box of 20 hand-painted ornaments and blinking christmas lights all in one package for $18! This cute darling is now what we’ve nicknamed “the little tree that could” as it has somehow managed to accumulate more presents than the tree 20 times its size last year.

Since we are in the wee hours of Christmas morning, let me just quickly post my newest prized possession I will post more later, as I need to go download The Complete U2.
