We went out yesterday to buy our tree and decorate the house for Christmas. It was the perfect day to stay indoors and decorate as it was cold, windy and rainy all day. When you buy a real tree in Spain, you get the root bulb included which means you have to plant the tree. I know, it's crazy but there is not a tree stand to be bought anywhere. The good thing is that the trees are dirt cheap and I got a new ceramic pot to plant something in later! I nicknamed our tree "Squatty". You'll understand once you see him. Good enough size for a house like ours.
O and I putting the first ornament on Squatty.
O got the hang of decorating the tree quickly and then demanded that she hang every ornament. She got to hang all the ones that were not breakable.
After we decorated the tree and house, we all sat down to write a letter to Santa. We went to the mall the day after Thanksgiving and I picked up a catalog from the toy store. She has not put it down since and looks only at the Barbie page. Here she is dictating to Daddy what she wants in the letter.
The final copy. The list is hilarious. O and I are going to the base post office tomorrow to send it.
O cozy on the couch with her catalog while Squatty shines bright in the corner. If he loses his needles and dies before Christmas like last year's tree, mark my words, it is fake hereafter.
