What a steal....
Today I did something I've NEVER done. I got up at 5:30 to be at a store by 6:00 am the day after Christmas! The store was Home Depot and the sought for item; a new Christmas Tree! To
start at the beginning; I really prefer real trees. But I live in Texas and they're so dry by the time they get here the needles fall off and I have a puppy who eats everything... you see why it's not a good idea for us to have a real tree. So for the 3rd Christmas in a row I put up and decorated our fake tree that was a gift at a bridal shower. It's a dandy little tree that was perfect for our apartment dwelling days. As for a house... it looks a little puny, as you can see in the picture on the right.
So I wanted a new tree and decided that I would get myself a good one. I heard Home Depot had good trees (they're half off right now) and they open early; so early I knew only the crazy people would actually go there. So I went. I was there at 6 am sharp and went straight to the trees. There were several decent choices but I noticed a lone 9' tree with white lights. I couldn't find a price or any boxes of the same tree.
So I asked a kind lady (costumer service is great when you're 1 of 2 people in the store!) and she said there weren't anymore. So I bravely asked if I could but the floor model and she said yes! When I pointed out there was no price to be found, she said she would ring it up with a skew # from a different tree that was $50! So to make a long story short; here is my lovely new $200 pre-lit Christmas tree (I looked up the price online) that we'll be able to enjoy for years to come! I just love a good deal!
