'Tis the season for purple, silver & GLITTER

I know putting the CHRISTMAS tree up is like seriously old news to SOME of you who put yours up before Halloween is even over, but I finally put MY purple & silver tree Sunday night.  I say MY because, lets be honest - purple....silver...glitter...that's ALL me, baby.  B-rad has NO say in any of it.  

Nor does he care.  Honestly.

He brings all the crap up from the basement, helps me assemble the tree & then sits back & points out my flaws.  "You have a hole right there."  "You have WAY too many lights right there."  "You need something else in that spot."  It's lovely, people....

YES, the purple & silver glittery ornaments made a comeback appearance in the bowl on the table.

 YES, the silver, glittery garland is back up blocking B-rad's tractors.

YES, the purple & silver glittery ornaments are resting again on top of the entertainment center.

 And YES.  The purple & silver glittery masterpiece is back.  I do love this damn tree.  I would love to leave it up all year, ya know - as a decoration, but then I couldn't make fun of people who have their trees up WAY too early.

 I don't know what it is - but I love the tree even more at night with all the lights on.  So pretty.

 B-rad had absentmindedly forgotten about just HOW much glitter this thing entailed.  He was less than thrilled when he remembered (out loud) how he will have glitter on everything from now until Christmas.  So, if you see him out somewhere & he's covered in purple & silver glitter, cut him some slack.... mmmm kay?!
