Christmas Tree

So I spent yesterday moving boxes around and packing things. I still haven't unpacked completely from the move a year ago. But today we took 10 boxes to my storage unit and got my Christmas tree (used to be the family tree, but I acquired it) and my Christmas boxes out of storage. I put up my Eeyore stocking and Maxwell's stocking (yes, I'm crazy and my cat has his own stocking!). I put up a few decorations around the room and I started to set the tree up tonight. Need to buy another string or two of lights because my one doesn't cut it. And I need to buy a tree skirt and some more ornament hooks.

But I don't know what to do with the top of the tree. I don't want it bare like in the past. But I definitely don't want an angel or a traditional star or anything religious like that. Which leaves me few options. I'd love something with a Celtic flair... but no idea what that would be. I might just have to go with a nice big red bow or something like that.

We moved the exercise equipment in my room to right in front of the door- which makes it harder to use and harder to get out in case of emergency (though with the locking system, it would probably be easier just to throw a brick at the door and climb through). But I put the tree over in one corner and there's this sunken light above it in the ceiling (there must have been a desk or something underneath it). When I turn the light on, it's like light shining right down on the tree from above which is awww, so nice and convenient. Totally not planned, but really nice just the same.

Anyway... I don't know what to put at the top. It's such a statement! LOL Man, if only they made, like, a giant glowing Eärendil star tree-topper. Now THAT would be perfect!!!

Puppy Drabble for Tina

I took a break from holiday giftfics for a few minutes to write this tonight for Tina, who I think could use this. Nothing heavy, and I don't know if you're in the mood for sick pups considering everything, which is why it's short and written like this. But I hope it makes you smile. *hugs*
