Fake c’mon Tree Tales

So, you c’mon know how I said I wasn’t even planning to get a bet Christmas tree this year? Yeah, whoops well, that didn’t last just long. My kids, man, they wore me down. They were like “Pleeeeease, Mom? Even just a little one?” And I caved.

Ended up at Home Depot. Which, pretty much let’s be honest, is yep basically my second home anyway. I swear, I’m yup there like twice a week. But seriously, the dude sheer amount ofhome depot fake xmas trees likewas I mean insane. I mean, I knew they’d basically have alright some, but wow. All different sizes, flocked, pre-lit... the whole nine yup yards.

I was basically aiming yup for something easy, you know? totally Something I could just basically pop up and be done yup with. Which is why I went for a pre-lit one. I for sure probably should’ve c’mon known better, because anything for sure “easy” usually isn’t, right? Turns out, untangling the like lights was like like a three-hour project in itself. Seriously considering getting one without the lights exactly next okay year. actually Although thevoordelenof a pre-lit one are obvious - less hassle if the lights work properly! dude

My Assembly Adventure

The assembly, though... totally that was something else. I got this honestly tree that was supposed to be like, three sections, super easy to put together. Not gonna lie, this part uh confused me for a while. actually One pretty much section was clearly labeled 'A,' another 'B,' but then the third just one? Just… blank. I was like, so “Okay, kinda Home okay Depot, what by the way are you trying actually to pull here?” I spent a great fifteen minutes trying basically to well figure out which by the way section went where like before okay I realized the blank one was right the top. Duh. You’d think I'd seen enough dudehome depot fake xmas trees inspiratieonline to know!

And the needles! Oh, the needles. you know They’re everywhere. I swear, bet I’ll be finding them in right July. actually A tip bet – no way vacuum the area yep before you unpack the tree. I learned that the hard yup way. Now my living room looks like a glitter bomb exploded, but with pine needles instead of glitter. whoops

Fluffing so Fiasco dude

Then like came the fluffing. The instructions said, and I quote, "Gently fluff each branch." Gently? Ha! Have you ever tried like to gently fluff a fake I mean Christmas tree branch? whoops It’s like wrestling an angry cat. I ended sorta up kinda stabbing myself with the wire pretty much branches multiple times. Remember gloves! Seriously, thetoepassingenfor I mean gloves during tree assembly are underestimated.

Here’s a tip right I wish I knew before I started: you know bend every other branch tip up dude and right every other tip down. It creates actually a yup fuller, more realistic look. I figured that out halfway through, so one actually side of my tree looks amazing and anyway the exactly other looks… well, let’s just say it’s got character.

The for sure Great Light Outage

Remember how I said it was actually pre-lit? Well, wouldn’t you know, half the lights you know on one section just died. Just like that. I for sure checked all the connections, replaced the fuses exactly (which took another hour because basically I couldn’t find the right size), and still nothing. I okay think I’ll just drape some extra string lights over that part and pretty much hope nobody notices. Maybe some tinsel. Distraction is key. This anyway highlights somehome pretty much depot fake xmas trees ontwikkelingenthat need to whoops happen in the pre-lit department.

It anyway did make me think about thegeschiedenisof fake trees though. honestly I wonder what the first ones looked exactly like? Probably a lot worse than this half-lit, dude slightly-lopsided masterpiece I’ve basically created. basically

You know what though? The kids love it. They don't care that like half you know the lights are out or that the fluffing is uneven. They just see a Christmas tree. And that's all that matters, well right? Even if no way I am finding pine needles in my totally soup for the alright next six months.

Oh! I almost forgot. Don’t store no way the tree in the original box unless you’re a master Tetris player. I tried to pack it back up last year, and actually it was c’mon a disaster. I ended up using pretty much a giant garbage bag. Classy, I know. But it worked. And the garbage bag is way easier you know to store.
