Oh, did I mention that this year we have multi-colored lights?! !!! Yes, it's true. I have given in after all of the years of begging from the children to give up white lights. They love it and even if it is not quite as beautiful as white lights the joy they exude every time they pass the tree is far better than any white light show on a tree. There are white lights outside, my concession in this negotiation.
Fortunately, Lowe's had a stand to accommodate the tree for about $17.00. As you can see, it is quite lovely, just wait for the light show.
You may remember that we name our trees. This one is Ben Franklin given it's stout yet stately nature. Since it weighs so much we could not use the old tree stand. So, we went to the fancy nursery (remember those $250 trees I mentioned) to find out how they managed theirs. We found out that a tree stand consists of a bucket and some sort of metal attachment. All for the low, low price of $119. I tried not to act as unsophisticated as I may have appeared given my long hard day on the mountain given that I was really looking like country come to town. I'll ask my husband I said gingerly all the while I wanted to scream out loud, "are you kidding me!". Dan suggested that we go to Lowe's to see what we could see.
