We put up a new Christmas tree yesterday. I thought it would be easy but of course it wasn't. First we put together the train track and I had to run to Lowe's to get felt to go under the board so it wouldn't scratch up the floor! Went home and put the felt on the board. Went to put the board together and discovered three of the tracks were broke! Went to 2 stores trying to find the tracks! Bought parts to fix the track. Fixing the tracks was not as easy as I was told! Mike and I finally fixed the tracks. Y-e-a-h, now I can put up my new tree. Wrong! I bought a new tree stand that rotates my new tree. Got the tree in the stand and after screwing 6 screws into it I start to put the tree together. When I put the 2nd section on, the tree started to sway! Mike helped me take the tree apart and look at the stand. W-E-L-L, we figured out the tree's truck is too big for the stand and the trunk didn't go all the way down! We finally used the tree stand that came with the tree and I put the tree together. I love my new Christmas tree even though it won't rotate but I still haven't figured out how to connect all the pre-lit lights!!!!

Only one more day until my son comes home from college!! I can't wait until everybody is under one roof!!!
