Oh Christmas Tree...

Our house has a Christmas tree this year! I haven't had one since I moved to Boston 15 years ago. This is my first faux tree (because otherwise we'd be vacuuming up needles until June). It's not really listing to the side -- that's just my impossibly awful photography "skills." It looks lovely and though you can't really see them, there are 200 tiny white lights on it. I feel Christmas-y!

Ornaments of note are a lobster trap, an antique globe, The Mad Hatter, a pickle, two moons, a Chianti bottle, two elephants, a Chinese lantern, and a Mexican hand-crafted star on top.

It's been a great holiday long weekend. I'm ready for the season! I also love Hanukkah and Solstice. I hope there's lots of festivity for all of the December holidays!
