O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree - O $20 Christmas tree!

I put up the Christmas tree last weekend after I got back from IU. I was exhausted so I wasn't a very good blogger & didn't take any pics. Yea, yea - I'm a slacker...

This is it... the tree cost me $20 at K-Mart this year. I love a good deal! I have a thang for Barbie's. (That sounds kinda bad - but it sounds funnier than "I collect Barbie's"...) I used to play with them as a kid. I had like everything Barbie. Barbie & the Rockers van, Barbie Dreamhouse, Barbie Ferrari (uh, yea-Barbie don't mess around!) you get the idea...So I loved my Barbie's so much, that it's become a tradition for my mom to buy me a Holiday Barbie every Christmas. I have a closet full of them (still in the box, of course...). A few years ago, Brad got me a curio cabinet thingie & I was able to pick my favorite & they got to be released from their cardboard captivity & moved on up to the east side into the cabinet. Notice how there are some stacked on top? Well those are the most recent years holiday Barbies that I don't have room for in the closet...I dunno what I'm gonna do...

Dear mom - please don't stop buying me holiday Barbie's - I WILL make room for them...

Perhaps some of my most favoritest Barbies - Barbie as Scarlet O'Hara. I love the movie "Gone with the Wind" & when they came out with a Scarlet Barbie - well, I was just in Heaven!!!!
I've got a bride Barbie -

I've got Barbie in a sunflower Bob Mackie gown & on the right are 2 porcelein Barbie's.

So I told you that story to explain my Christmas tree (see, there is a method to my madness...) I decorate my tree with Barbie doll ornaments. (of course, there are other ornaments on it too, but the Barbie's are the most important.)

I think I have most the ornaments that go along with the Holiday Barbie's.

Yes I know - I'm a dork...

but me & my Barbie's don't care...

And of course since B-rad's a farmer - I have a couple of tractors too!
