Well... tonight was my official night to set up my Christmas tree for this year. I wanted to do it before my roommates come home to suprise them. Little did I know that it would take me FIVE hours to do it. Ok... so most of you know that I am a spass sometimes. Trying to get a real tree in my apartment was one of those spass moments. First I recruited the help of a friend. We went to Smith's (a grocery store) and got a tree. Then we tried to stick it in my 2000 Jetta.... HA! Some idea that was.... I put all the seats in the back down and ended up driving home with my trunk completely opened and a Christmas tree sticking out the rear end of my car! The real problems was in getting the tree to stay up. We put it in the stand and tightened all the screws.... but it still kept tilting to one side. We resorted to extreme measures to hold this tree up. The items that are holding up my Christmas tree right now you ask? Electrical tape, a wooden board, and Jenga blocks.... that's right... I said JENGA BLOCKS... (ok, so we were really desperate!) However, the tree now is decorated and brings a wonderful smell and spirit into my apartment... oh how I love Christmas... Even if it takes five hours to put a tree up.... hehehe ;-)
P.S. ok... so that is not really MY Christmas tree... but how neat would it be if it was?!
