Merry Frustrated Christmas

I’m a bit reluctant to show you this one, to be honest.
You see..last year I loved the oistershelves in the tree, I really did. But this year..I don’t know. I can’t decide if I like it. What I’m absolutely sure about is that this is not the perfect spot for a Christmastree in our home. Where it’s standing now, it’s a bit lost, like it sneaked into the livingroom through the backdoor and got caught doing that. Poor tree. She’s a bit crooked too (like every other Christmastree we ever had, because the only non-crooked trees are the fake ones and I always say I’d never never allow a fake tree in my home).

But you know..once the tree is finally in place, without causing too much damage to bright white painted walls (after our big renovation project, I’m not planning to touch any brush for about a year or two), I’m certainly not gonna replace it again. And I certainly don’t want to make another trace of needles and mud and melting snow through our livingroom. So I just leave it where I first placed it, feeling a bit annoyed every time I pass by because it’s just not the right spot (but what is the right spot then?) and because I’m not sure about the oisters.

Maybe I should consider a fake one next year. :-)
