Jason wanted a big Christmas tree this year...which seemed like a great idea. We have been in houses with low ceilings the last few years and this year we had a 2 story living room to put it in...
So as our tradition has been since our first Christmas together in 2003 we went to get our tree the first weekend of December.
In the white tent at Home Depot this tree looked pretty average- okay a little bigger than average, but not huge. Jason got it on the car with no problem and we went home...
We are excited about our tree - a 10-12 foot Frasier Fir
doesn't look that big
Jason dragged it in the house and well, it looked pretty big considering it went across the entire living room floor (after cutting a bit on the trunk off)
and after a few attempts to put this tree up, we realized something... tall trees have large diameters! We weren't sure where in the living room it was going to fit!
and then the next problem happened-- our tree stand was not big enough to hold our tree - which turned out to be a 13 foot tree! So Jason bought a bigger heavy duty tree stand and anchored the tree to the wall. We started to really question whether we should have got this big of a tree...
and we really started rethinking this huge tree when we started to decorate it and had to move ladders around every few minutes and then ran out of lights and ornaments...
