We have the saddest tree ever.

Seriously.  We don't have time to really decorate for Christmas this year, so I just put up a 5 foot slim prelit fake tree on a stick.  I put an angel on top. threw on about 30 ornaments, and called it a day.  No garland, no extras.  Oh, and I put a skirt around the bottom.  That's it.  I suck.

Re: We have the saddest tree ever.

  • you at least put your tree up and it already had lights on it which is a plus!  some people dont put up trees at all.

  • The holidays are supposed to be fun and when you get busy and feel pressure then they suck.  You did something and seriously at the end of the day its about family and spending time together.  I am an interior designer and I sometimes make myself crazy with the details but at the end of the day it just doesnt matter.  No worries :)
  • True.  And N had the most fun helping decorate (well, decorate the bottom two feet.  lol)

  • That's not a sad tree!  You should see mine, it would make you feel better.

  • Really, you should see mine.

    Just received our first tree from Costco, 7.5ft, prelit, now standing up and has a total of 4 Christmas ornaments that have sentimental value for us, and about 8 paper cranes perched on random branches we used for our wedding.

    My tree is so underdressed compared to yours.

  • This is our first Christmas together and we haven't put up any decorations at all. 

    Its not out of being a 'scrooge' - I actually LOVE Christmas time.

    We are pretty broke right now - and decided to use what money we had on gifts for others instead of decorations for out house. Also we will be traveling for a little over a week to see the In-Laws (both mine and his) for Christmas. 

    I'm sad without a pretty tree and all the fun decorations.

    This just means that next year we will have to go all out to make up for what we missed.

  • ditto pp - at least you put up a tree!  That's more than some people!

  • I hear you!  I feel so bad that we're not decorating much this year either.  There's just no time with 2 little ones in our house...

  • One year we decorated the tree with stuffed animals and pine cones.  We wanted maximum impact with minimal effort.  It worked well and was very baby friendly.

     Don't feel bad about a minimally decorated tree.  A tree is a tree.  That's all.
