Charlie Brown's Christmas tree

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Yesterday our apartment manager had the common areas decorated with lights and garland. Today, my roommates and I bought a live Christmas tree and some poinsettias to decorate our own space. We had some difficulty deciding on a tree as some were more expensive, but prettier and bigger, and some were not the right color or the right kind of branches. Eventually we all agreed on a cute little stone pine that stand about 3.5 feet high and leans ever so slightly. It's funny, because the fact that it leans was one of the deciding factors. We all agreed it reminded us just a little of that sad Christmas tree in Charlie Brown's Christmas. Our meager Christmas decorations will be more than enough to decorate our little tree, and I am sure it will look quite festive once it has lights and decoration. Not only that, but we can give it a spot in the backyard once Christmas is over.
