Have you ever seen something online, order it and when it arrives say "what was I thinking"? This is just what happened to me. I wanted a taller and wider Christmas so I searched online and found one that I thought would be perfect for the formal living room. For some reason 9 ft tall and 72 inches wide didn't seem that big to me.
When it arrived the box didn't look all that big (about 6 ft by 2 ft). So I tried to pick it up the handles and boy was it heavy. I couldn't lift it at all. I had to basically roll it into the house. I opened the box and found that it was in 4 parts. Let's just say that they were all heavy except for the top piece. I had to stand on the 4 foot ladder to put the top piece on.
I know that it doesn't look quite right, that is because I haven't fluffed out all of the branches. I can hardly wait. Not, I am thinking that this will take me a few hours. I will have to make sure that I wear long sleeves since the tree broke out my skin just setting it up.
I like that it is pre-lit with clear lights. I hate stringing lights. Maybe in my spare time this weekend (ha, ha) I can get those branches fluffed. I am already envisioning it decorated with green, red and white decorations.
The new tree looks really good. Keep fluffing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ron. I am sure that once I fluff the branches out it will look fuller.
DeleteJody,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
Well, maybe not the top at this moment!
I'm wanting a new Christmas Tree that has a lot of white in it!
I've not been pleased with any that I've seen so far!
I haven't looked on~line as I prefer to buy local as much as possible!
I'll be back to see your tree fully decorated!
Fondly,
Pat
Thanks Pat. I got it from Kohl's. I had to order it online since they don't carry many trees in the store. It seems like all the stores here only have a few trees on display and have more on there website so you end up having to order them.
Deletehere at our house the tree will go up a week from today. I appreciate the beauty of Christmas but we need to get through our Thanksgiving first. But so glad that you have your blog looking a bit like Christmas

Thank you Angie. Since I host Thanksgiving at our house every year I start my Christmas decorating the weekend after. The only reason I have the tree up now is that I ordered it and I don't want to take it down to the basement and back up. I probably won't get it decorated before Thanksgiving but I will at least get the branched all fluffed up and ready to go. Happy Thanksgiving.
DeleteThat is one big tree and I am sure you will make it look amazing!!

Thank you Deb. I still haven't fluffed those boughs yet.
