2009's tree

It's a Noble Fir. It cost $80!! I don't like it. What I like is a tree with big spaces between the branches so that the ornaments swing freely. My favorite tree was one I got from my dad's tree farm two years ago. It was so spindly I had to tie it to the curtain rod so that it wouldn't fall over but it was 10-feet tall and had huge spaces between the branches. It was like a supermodel -- skinny and plain when unadorned but spectacular once dressed. Tree as ornament hanger. 

I don't wanna be one of those persnickety women who drags her family from tree lot to tree lot looking for the right one but, dang it, I am that woman. Next year, I going to embrace her and buy her a double grande pumpkin spice latte.
