O Tannenbaum
So, I found myself awake at 3 a.m. today, debating about whether to put up the tree or not. Fell asleep at 5 a.m. after deciding to not put up the damn thing, at least, not last night anyway. LOL.
The tree is tall, spiral and narrow, which means that I can actually fit it somewhere in this cramped apartment. I think I need to put it up, to give myself some fucking Xmas cheer, but the whole fun, for me, of having a tree is to sleep in the living room, watching the twinkling blue-and-crystal lights. I don’t spend a whole lot of time outside of my room, though, so I’d probably never see the tree much.
I do have a tree skirt on layaway, though. It would be a shame to not use it — it totally matches the tree and my taste, as it’s shimmery cobalt blue and black. Hmm. I should rearrange my furniture and put the tree in my room. lol.
Actually, I need to send out Xmas cards. I’ve addressed most of them, and Wobin graciously bought me two books of stamps so that I can actually MAIL them this year. LOL. Now, I just have to write the damn things out. I’d thought it would be a cute idea to get my friends and I together in front of the tree and send out our “family portrait” in my cards, but who, outside of us, would appreciate that? Hmm. Maybe do the portrait anyway, just for us. Oh, who knows? I just hate the thought of packing all those damn fragile crystal ornaments. Argh.
Okay, readers (you, too, Maddie) — to decorate or not to decorate? Here’s a photo of the tree; and yes, that’s me, lookin’ stupid next to it. lol.
