Attack of the Killer Christmas Tree

The Hummer...The distance in centimeters between New York and London...Tom Cruise's ego...The national debt...My Christmas tree...

If you guessed "Things That Are Wicked Huge", you are correct!

Here she is, Queen of the Forest. Bedazzled with 800 twinkling lights, she takes up a third of our living room and blocks the view of the television from at least two seating areas. We love her still, our whopper of a Tannenbaum, and on the plus side she's only fallen over once (we have her secured with several free weights and a wrench set nowadays). Who needs an attractive but mid-sized tree when you can cover your whole living room in Christmas? As Jack so aptly put it last night when we fired up the lights, "Oh, that never gets old."

Jack and Liam, all lit up. Thankfully the tree decided to fall down *after* this was taken, or it would have been a much more interesting shot.
