Part 4: Holiday Weekend Wrap Up and We Have A Winner!

  
And, so here finally is our tree!
 
I was amazed that the very first person to comment got the price on the nose in my little guessing game!  We paid $45, which DH and I thought was a fair price.  I am also going to give credit to Krissy, who guessed $48.75, which is probably about what it cost with tax, which they did charge us.  (I'm too lazy to get a calculator and figure it out exactly.  I hate math.)  So I hereby bestow link love and fame and glory to:

I have to say, it is nice to have the tree up already, but it was a lot of work to do the very day after I hosted Thanksgiving.  I don't know where we got the energy to bring ALL THESE BOXES OF CHRISTMAS STUFF up from the basement, and then put back down when we were done!!
 

 

  

The day after we put up the tree, I set up my Dept. 56 New England Village.  That was not work.  That was fun!

  

 

  

 

    
 

   

 

  

I kinda can't believe I ended up posting all week about our Holiday weekend - hope you didn't mind! :-)  If the weather holds out this weekend, I will have something interesting to blog about next week...

  

The end.
