O Christmas Tree!
Okay, okay...this isn't really MY tree...
I googled "world's most expensive Christmas tree" and this is what I got. It's in Singapore and it's worth about a million bucks. It also weighs over 7000 pounds. (Not exactly something that you can have hubby fetch from the attic on his lunch break.)
You don't see a picture of my Christmas tree because... we aren't putting one up this year.
*I'll pause while you climb back into the chair from whence you fell when you read this devastating news.*
Yes, it's true. There is no musical Pisowald Christmas decor illuminating the front yard - and pissing off the neighbors - for 2010. There are no stockings hung, no garland strung, no cookies baked.
And since this is the internet after all....I don't know what criminal types are eagerly perusing scrappy blogs like mine just waiting for an unsuspecting papercrafter to divulge just when her and her family will be out of town so they can break in and steal all her pretty paper... I can't tell you exactly when or where we will be going.
(If you are a burglar reading this, note that all of my scrapbooking supplies have been booby trapped and you will not get out alive. It would be much safer for you to just break into the garage and help yourself to my husband's fishing paraphernalia.)
Maybe decorating would've gotten me more in the Christmas spirit. I'm not a huge fan of the holidays anyway so without any festive decor hanging from every nook and cranny, it's really easy for me to be Scrooge-like.
I'm hoping that once we are in the sub-zero weather...surrounded by our families (and other people we see less than once a year) that it will all finally feel like Christmas.
Til next year....

OK, that is much worse than me and that is saying something! My DS will be spending Christmas away from yours truly for the first time and I am devastated, but I since other than that Christmas is following a familiar pattern, I've had to do presents and all that jazz. I have one wreath on the door outside and about 5 things inside. Save travels to you and yours!
