We used the old tree; no one really liked the 2007 tree. Last year’s tree was pre-lit and many of the lights went out. This one has about 20 strings of lights on it! When it gets cold it can heat up as room 🙂
I put up the branches and the lights. Mom and the kids started putting on the decorations and then Alek came and helped finish off the tree. It’s good and the whole house is nice and in the Christmas spirit.
Naturally I took lots of pictures. You can see the set of photos on Flickr.
