Living Christmas Tree

This year we are excited to take a different route with our Christmas tree. Like living! And Potted! With all the pros of having a real Christmas tree in your living room (Smell, natural beauty) and non of the cons (needles everywhere, crispy well-doneness after 2 weeks, fire hazard, skeleton tree rotting in your back yard for years since "let it decompose naturally and gracefully with it's own kind* is what I usually say come January.)
With added bonuses like improved air quality and Hello! Having a new tree for our back yard come January....I can't believe we didn't think of it sooner!
Living meant getting a smaller tree, and transporting it was tough even at that, but yesterday we went ahead and did our tree shopping.
We soon picked out this hardy little Korean Fir. I liked its nubby needles, and we both liked that it was 5 dollars cheaper that the other firs.
Greta insists on pushing the cart.

Getting the tree into our car was trickier than we thought. With it's pot it weighed like a hundred pounds, and trees with hundred pound pots of dirt don't lay down on the rack of your car as handily as their more dead brothers and sisters. In the end we had to snap it's little top down to make it fit. But we were determined!

We are taking our time decorating it, we only have to use a small amount of ornaments to decorate it and since it's so manageable I want to make it extra pretty.
Final results to come!
