When we bought our tree, we decided to go with a prelit tree. That first year we took off all the ornaments and went to pack it back in the box only to find out that we couldn't get it apart. Sooo, each year it goes into the basement and back up the stairs just like this.
Now usually Hawkeye gets very, very upset about the Christmas tree. Last year it took him the longest ever to get used to it but this year, he was just fine after only a few minutes. Unfortunately he's starting to show his age in a lot of different ways and I think this is just another way, he just doesn't care anymore.
I love opening our ornaments each year and Reagan gets it now that each of our ornaments have meaning behind them. They are usually gifts and the kids each get a new one each year to depict what they've been into. She loves seeing them again and had fun telling Corbin what each of them meant.
I seriously considered not fixing this. We did of course but there are still a few branches that are loaded up.
This year we actually put the tree up the weekend before Thanksgiving. We NEVER do that but I am so thankful that we did. We knew we had so many things on the calendar coming up and wanted it to be a fun time and not feel like a chore that we had to get done.
