Wow, I did not realize I would get this much static by putting the Christmas tree in the family room downstairs. When I mentioned this idea to Ted. Well, his comments were, it would never work, the tree is too big, there is no room etc. I thought to my self I will make the room! Even if it meant taking some furniture out, even if it meant leaving the bottom branches out as it became to wide. Well I manage to do all these things.It seems the whole family is wondering why I would do such a thing, holy smokes!
I will tell you why. I figured, we eat upstairs, "our tradional fondue", then go downstairs to open up the presents and Monica, "do our picture thing". By this I do not mean the picture taking thing!
When all is done we adults go upstairs and the grandchildren can play with the new toys and watch a video. We all know how a room can look after the opening of presents. This way I can leave it till the next day and not have to stay up all hours of the night to tidy up.
So......that is my reason for doing it this way. It seemed to make all perfect sense to me!
On the other hand, since Ted and I are always upstairs I miss seeing my "master piece of a tree"! Even though to some people (and I won't mention any names) say it is sooooooo seventies! Ha, ha, ha!
We will see how this works this Christmas.

I would buy another tree for upstairs, maybe a smaller one. But I am extravagant sometimes.
I would miss gazing fondly at my masterpiece as well Trudy.
Does anyone know where to buy those rope fences they have at banks to tell you where to stand in line? Mom could use them to prevent anyone wandering off into forbidden areas in her house. (8D)
Ron,
That's hilarous!
I agree with Nancy. I'd buy another one!! Why not???
yes, buy another one - here's a good idea - get a smaller tree for upstairs and let it be your grandkids tree - they all have to make something to put on the tree and they get to decorate it however they want.
What do you think?
