“Not many fake things are so nice for me, but I sure love an artificial tree.” quote by poem's author We had to ditch last year our Christmas tree. Worn out it was! We needed something new. Big after-Christmas sales we went to see, and huge discounts were more than just a few. We saw a tree – not too small or too tall - a beautiful white tree that was pre-lit. There were no boxed ones left of it at all. I liked it best, so “as is” we bought it. We had to place it carefully inside the back of hubbie’s truck, which worked okay. In three parts it could come apart to hide it till the time we’d put it on display. I love the softness of its lights. It seems like candy land! We did not know about the way its lights give different types of beams. We put it up and figured that all out. Its colored lights can have a steady glow, or they can stay one certain color, or they can flash or brightly beam, then fade low. I could not wait to get it on our floor! Fun ornaments and garlands go around that tree, which makes it a joy to look at. Our two cute kitties very quickly found our tree but don’t attack it. I’m glad for that!
