Our new real fake tree. Happy Holidays!
And, I don't have to deal with falling needles. Or tree disposal (we usually burned the tree in the garden in the spring). We got it from Ikea, so it's a Swedish tree. From up north. Ho, ho, ho!

O tannenbaum
Our christmas tree this year. I finally gave in and got us an artificial tree. My reasoning: I'm old. This tree looks as good, if not better, than the real trees we've been getting lately. And as the price of real trees continues to increase, this one will pay for itself in two or three years.

Happy birthday from us too. We hope you have a good one.
ReplyDeleteYour tree looks great. We went artificial last year - and it drops a few needles just to make us feel festive !!
The tree looks great! From the pic, I'd never guess that it wasn't real.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Walt and many many many many happy returns of the day and years in France. Big hug! Martine
ReplyDeleteP.S. Enjoy your 'steak au poivre' ;)!!
have a great birthday.....my parisian grandson was born 2 days ago.....monsieur hugo is a big healthy baby.....
ReplyDeleteWe caved and bought a fake tree after our first year in Southern California (and we left a trail of dry needles on the way to the car with our "fresh" tree). And I have to admit, I love the fact that you can bend the branches of a fake tree to suit the ornaments. Yours is beautiful. Ours are still packed this year. Cats!
ReplyDeleteJoyeux anniversaire Walt!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tree, lovely ornaments!
We're still dealing with needles. Your tree looks beautiful. A great birthday decoration. Paul, too, gets a great birthday celebration -- on the 24th.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday from us. Have a delicious day.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteHappy Solstice Birthday, Walt! Love your new tree.
ReplyDeleteUn joyeux Noël à vous Walt!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tree and Happy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, old man! JK, it was because of the artificial tree. I know all the good reasons for getting one. It's lovely. Enjoy your special day. Miss you! xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt's evening with you, now. You've enjoyed your steak au poivre, had a toast or two or three and probably opened your gifts. Your day was undoubtedly especially festive this year and rightly so! Congratulations on a wonderful year (the part that you shared on the blog!).
ReplyDeleteSelling a photo must have been one of the highlights! With your talents, it is probably just the beginning of many more sales. You deserve it all.
Bon Anniversaire!! We always had an artificial tree. It's just makes so much sense for all the reasons you stated above.
ReplyDeleteMy late best wishes to the Birthday man :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks to all for the wonderful wishes! My birthday was perfect yet again. I'm already looking forward to next year!
