O Christmas Tree!

So.

I went shopping with a couple of friends last night, and when we stopped at Michael's, we happened to see the most adorable little Christmas trees. On sale, even! They were all between 2 and 3 feet high, with lights, in several different colors. They had a pretty little 2-foot silver holographic sparkly tree. It pretty much had my name on it...it was $6...I bought the tree. One of my friends got the same one.

Having gotten said trees, we also needed some teeny little ornaments...I decided to go with a red/green/silver theme for mine, so I picked up some green jingle bells, some teeny red ball ornaments, a pretty little red/green/silver garland, some itty bitty candy canes, and some equally itty bitty Christmas gift shaped ornaments. I also got a teensy silver angel for the top of the tree

It's actually a pretty cute lil tree. The photo doesn't even begin to do it justice. It's impossible to capture the pretty rainbowiness of the branches without blowing the lights out completely. I put it up on top of my PC last night...in between boss attempts in Naxx, actually. Had to kill time somehow while everyone else was talking on vent.

No, it's not the traditional 7-foot-tall tree with a bazillion mismatched ornaments and rainbow twinkle lights...but it is my tree, and I like it. It really does suit my personality more than a traditional tree. Sparkly, artistic (limited palatte, yay!), and much more my size than a normal tree. Too bad there's not enough room for gifts under it. My beanie baby penguin shall have to suffice.
