Our First Christmas Tree

This is going to be my 2nd Christmas in the U.S. but we didn't have our own Christmas tree last year so this makes our very first. It may be too early to put up a tree but we did it anyway because I thought I would be working on the first 3 weekends of December. But I just found out today that I only have to work for 1 weekend but anyway, even if it's too early to talk about trees here, I just went ahead and share our first tree with you. Never in my whole life did I help mom decorate the house every Christmas so I was kinda skeptical on having our own tree in the house. We will still be spending our Christmas in my sister's house in Illinois but we still wanted to put up our own tree. Nothing beats the fun when me and Jeff were trying our very best in putting some beauty to this tree. By the way, it is a 7-foot tree and for a while, we thought it's not going to fit in our very small house, hehehe. I am not good with decorating and stuff but I am happy with how it came out. I think it's not that bad for a first-timer, is it?

great job on the tree, net.. no, it's not too early yet to put up a tree. here in the philippines, if you may recall, as early as september or october, people are already setting up their Christmas trees, lights and other decorations. Hmmm, that is not the case in the house YET though
