I'm a fake ... (that's FAKE, not FLAKE) ...

I have a confession to make ... hello, my name is fakey fakerson and I now own a fake Christmas tree. I can't even call it "artificial" because for so long I have stood true to my roots (no pun intended) and bought a real tree. But alas, the frenzy of the holidays has caught up with me and the desire for instant gratification is much to great ... so, here she is ...

~ O, Fakey Christmas Tree ~

She should arrive this Friday and Ethan is so excited that the post man is bringing his Christmas tree. And although he wants a "tiny" one, not a big one, I think we'll all be loving our new tree. And the most fabulous part of our new tree, the thing that has me doing the happy dance? PRE-LIT ... yes I know, this is not a new concept, but it is in this house and let me tell you, with my OCD, the lights take hours to get "perfect." But now, perfect lights every year without all the work.

I can't wait to post a picture once she's up and decorated ... stay tuned ...

Happy Tuesday!

What a sad post...j/k :) I LOVE real Christmas trees...let me rephrase that. I love the smell of real christmas trees. The fallen needles, the watering, the sap, the mess...I could live without all of that. The only way I can see ever get a fake is to get a real strong evergreen candle to burn 24/7. That looks really nice though. Where did you order it from?

Oh how very sad. Although I do understand about the lights. Ask Mike, it makes him CRAZY that it takes so long to get them on just right.
My parents got a fake tree too and Garrett was very concerned about why their tree was made out of wires instead of wood branches!
