We had no trouble setting it up by ourselves, and then we cut off the mesh wrapping.

He lets it sit a couple of days so it can open out, then puts on the lights. Om is great at getting the lights to look nice.

I actually like to get a picture out of focus which makes the colors "bloom."

Finally, the ornaments go on. Just a fraction of the ones we own. A few packages. We've mostly been giving gift certificates. Not very "romantic," but there it is.

Josh will join us for the day, and we will have a bit of a nice holiday meal. That's all, folks. And this is plenty of hoopla for me.
In other news: Today somehow flew by. I did some editing, had a zoom meeting with friends, went for a 3-mile walk. That seems to be all. Doesn't seem like much, but there it is.

The tree is beautiful. Om does a wonderful job. I always hated putting the lights on. As much as I love a real tree, the pre-lit fake one works best for me.
It's beautiful! Om did such a great job setting it up. We have a smaller tree this year too. I think the tree farms were struggling with covid so there wasn't much of a selection. That's okay...an 8 foot tree is just as lovely as a 10 or 12 foot one.
Enjoyed the call yesterday!
Om did a great job with the lights. Looks very nice. Our tree is about a foot tall and is ceramic. It has lights too.
Hi Ann, Lin, and Chuck- We are all downsizing! Yes, Om really has a knack with the lights. And I'm such a grinch, I love it that he does this so well.
