Caved in...

Well......we are going to buy a live tree this year to decorate. I am very scroog-ish when it comes to live trees. For one, needles everywhere! It's a daily vacuum job. And having to keep it watered. Towards the end of the season it's really hard to water especially if there are presents under the tree. Lots of digging them out and hoping and praying that you don't accidentally pour water on the presents instead of the tree. But Steve said that a live tree will bring in more of the Christmas spirit because they smell so good. I have to agree with him that they do smell great!! And he doesn't want to go get it until we can all go together. So this is going to be a family event. That won't happen til way into December but that's ok. I am warming up to it more and more. Jaron also volunteered to do the vacuuming for me around the tree. Christopher and Lesa borrowed our artificial tree so it's official....we will be getting a live one.
