Little Perfect Tree

We debated getting a tree since we won't be in town for the actual day Santa Claus arrives (which also varies by country; in Norway, since it's closer to the North Pole, they celebrate on the 24th). But people started putting trees up and I could see them in windows and was sad that we weren't. $20 later, we had our little mini tree. It's just a hair taller than Lucia, which meant she was super psyched about decorating it. The only lights we had were those horridly cool-light LEDs, so Pete ran to the store to get the warm light  LEDs, and voila. Another benefit of having a mini tree is that it was decorated in about 15 minutes. We put the huge skirt around it and the three of us put the star on together. We're getting excited for the holidays.
