Oh, a Christmas tree...............

Well..................it was a beautiful looking tree at the sales lot.
Had to butcher the bottom branches to fit the tree stand.  Turns
out the bottom branches were the best branches.  Oh well. 
Three strands of lights, might add a fourth.  All my favorite
ornaments, including a few handed down from my grand-
mother.  Still needs the skirty thing to cover the base and the star
to top it off, but, it's up and I like it.  Let the holiday season begin.
