So I have been a renter in this little apartment for 5 and a half years now and I have never had a tree at christmas time.  Well I changed that this year and as you can see from the pictures, I think it was a good decision.  My windows are great, they have really deep sils and are 4 ft tall.  The tallest tree was suppose to only be 4 feet, but I think it is a bit taller, I had to bend the top over to get it to fit.  I found the group of three at Biglots, actually that is where I found every thing.  I like the way they look and I am glad I took the time to find the trees and to put them up in my home.  I have a friend at work and she has 3 trees in her front room too.  Hers are larger but having seen them and having heard the story "The Three Trees"  copying her idea on a smaller scale seemed like a good idea.  And it has been, I feel the spirit of this wonderful season in a deeper way this year.  Christmas has felt too commercial the last few years, in my book, so this has been a nice surprise for me.  I am glad to have a tree in my home this year.  Well,  Merry Christmas everyone!!

Chris,

I'm so glad you decided to put a tree up. I just don't think it is Christmas without one. :)

Christian,
I love your trees. It realy is symbolic or traditional way to fill your home with the holiday spirit. It was so good to see you at the Christmas Party. You are always a shining star in my day. Thanks for being my friend.
