I would like to say ...

I am just simply showing you my tree from this last year.  And, well, yes, I am doing that, but I am also looking at it right now.  Yes. This. very. minute.

Since I was gone for a good part of December and a week in January, I decided to leave my tree up a little longer than normal - simply to enjoy it.  If you read my blog from Sunday, you see that I had a nasty fall and am now not able to take the tree down.

So, I am back to enjoying it as long as it is up.  And I have to say - I AM enjoying it.
