Truthfully, I am not sure I will have a tree this year. I can't seem to get much time to do anything besides work and work around the house. Plus with Grant having his first Christmas, I think he might want to munch on some decorations. Last year we had about an 8 ft Colorado Blue Spruce we bought from our local tree farm. It was gorgeous and a holy mess to clean up after. No more real trees for me, I'll get a tree scented candle to do me over. If I get a tree, I might get a little artificial Charlie Brown tree to keep it out of the dogs reach. I am totally not in the Christmas spirit yet, it takes me awhile to be.
