A couple days before Thanksgiving, my husband and I went Christmas tree shopping. We could finally fit a big tree in our abode! Previously, we were making due with a 3-foot tree that I had been putting up in my room since I was in sixth grade. It was time for an upgrade.We wanted a tree that was fake but looked real. I know a real tree would fit a "country" style better but cutting down a tree for a month of use does not really fit my inner hippie. It always makes me sad to see Christmas trees in the middle of the lake. Anyway, I digress.....
We also wanted to put our own lights on it, but practically EVERY tree we found was prelit. We know how to put lights on a tree! We went to Target, Home Depot, and the other usual culprits, but all of the unlit trees were hideous. We ended up at Sears. They had our dream style of tree, but it was, of course, prelit. We hadn't found a tree that looked like this at any of the other stores, so we ended up relenting and decided to invest in some wire cutters. Although the tree came in both colored and white lights, we picked the white because we're racist the colored ones weren't very pretty.

The tree is now wrapped in pretty colored LED lights. We have yet to cut out the white lights, because they are easy to ignore. We turn both the white and colored lights on when we want that Griswold Christmas vibe.
To conclude, I share these pictures with everyone to raise your Christmas spirits!
