I finally decorated for Christmas

It's 18 inches tall, from Urban Outfitters, and was $12. I have tons of holiday spirit.

I had the option of getting either the pink, silver, or white tinsel tree. I thought I'd be nice and get the silver, instead of the obvious choice for me.

But then I got pink lights, which, as tinsel is reflective, make the entire tree look pink.

I so rock.

Did you also get the red/green/yellow revolving light that goes in front of the tree? very popular when I was growing up in Los Angeles in the 60's.

Michele sent me.

Rad.

It's reminiscent of some of the trees the boys pass up in "A Charlie Brown Christmas".

margalit, kotan, yellow rose - I would be so cool if I had that. I wish I did.

deana - if only! yes to the young, fun, girl with pink shoes, no to the single! But as it's my first married christmas, I think I'm allowed to still do tinsel

kat - I KNEW you'd love it.

"rob" said "Rad".
I haven't heard (or seen) that word in so long, I may just have to blog about it.
I LOVE your tree.
I wish I had an Urban Outfitters near me...... But I don't. It's far far away in San Fran.
Sad for me aren't you?

Just wanted to let you know that the Urban Outfitters tree was in the Chicago Tribune today - you are SO ahead of the trend (not that we didn't know that already about you).

And I quote: "Despite how sad it looks, the little tree ($24, www.urbanoutfitters.com) actually is quite sturdy, because the limbs are wire-filled. It comes with a crisscrossed wooden base and a lone ornament. You can make the poor fake fir look as if it's about to topple from the weight of that single red glass ball, or add your own decorations to give it a more festive appearance."

I also wanted to add that my boyfriend's parents have a white frosted fake tree that revolves. It has white spotlights on the floor that reflect on it while it spins. I'm not kidding - you cannot make this stuff up!
