I know I’m totally late on the draw here… but this post totally made me giggle.
First I had to re-read where you said you kept the hatchet under your dresser… in case you need to hack your way out of your bedroom… in case of an earthquake.
Hilariously brilliant.

And your daughter’s “almost as good” comment about made me bust a gut of my own. haha… if she only knew all the crap you had just gone through for this tree.

And your neighbors, bahahaha… I’d probably have been right there with them. Completely puzzled.

By the way, I love your blog.

The year we were engaged we got in a car accident on our way to go cut down a tree. I considered it a bad omen and hence we’ve had a fake tree every year since.

Yeah that may have been our “outside” tree for us. I could barley handle the needle trail ours left upon entering. I guess I couldn’t bare to see it mix together with the mud and Slugs in our house:)

Oh DYM, this post is an instant classic! You are totally on top of your game with this gut-busting post. Thank you so much for dragging me out of my slug-infested sorrow-filled hole today, you are my hero.

It’s gorgeous!!! And you have the perfect corner window through which to display it’s loveliness. I’ll bet the mud/slug free neighbors’ trees can’t hold an incandescent candle to yours.

That is too funny. I wanted to cut down our own tree this year; I’m glad we didn’t!
BTW, down here in Hurricane land, we keep axes in our attics in case we have to chop a hole in our rooves during a flood. I never knew about the use of them during earthquakes!

Oh my goodness; that was your funniest post yet. I giggled good and long; thanks for the Wednesday pick-me-up. I have to side with Laylee; real trees are the best but it’s hard to pick one out!

It does look beautiful! I love that I recognize alot of your decorations because I have many of the same ones. (I know that is not correct grammer, but I don’t care.)
