Meet our Christmas Shrub. Isn't it cute? Fitting a full-sized tree in our little apartment would take some serious rearranging, and with the fact neither of us will actually be here for Christmas, it seemed silly to go to all the trouble. So, a tabletop version. I think it's festive. And it smells really nice.
I can't really get over the wrongness of strolling through a parking lot, wearing little more than a t-shirt and jeans, to pick out a Christmas tree. No, Christmas-tree-getting should involve approximately 32 layers of wool under a nice, fluffy parka, a good, long trudge through snow, a saw, and a healthy dose of manual labor.
The result, I suppose, is the same. And this might possibly be my first ever November Christmas tree!
