Getting in the holiday spirit
With all of the Christmas carols in the mall and the ads on TV, you know it is officially the holiday season once Black Friday occurs. Getting into the spirit of the season, Akis and I walked up the street to check out the trees. Note the 'Free Delivery' sign...
After falling in love with a tree and finding out it was almost $70, we opted to then give them a price point and ask what we could afford. We still managed to get a great tree, but my original choice was left in the yard. Akis couldn't understand why we weren't getting an artificial tree ~ I just love the smell of the pine when you bring the tree into the house, so it was going to be a real tree this year. You could smell the tree once they cut the end ~ love that smell!
Despite the 'Free Delivery', Akis and I decided that we were going to cart the tree home ourselves. This was more to do with the fact that we don't know if we are actually allowed to have a real tree in the apartment and silently sneaked it into the apartment through the patio. No we aren't that noble ~ although we did get a number of looks as we walked down the street on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
Akis was tasked with trimming the tree, and once it was done, it was quite lovely. No tinsel however... I'm thinking they might not make this stuff anymore.
Merry first Christmas to Akis and I!
