Ok, after a brief crying session I decided to give the tree another go. Thankfully it is a fake tree because I could just bend it back into shape after being thrown to the floor. A real tree would have been a disaster. It came out nice, but the “wheee I’m doing the christmas tree!!” feeling wasn’t there.<\/p>\n
I must admit though, sitting here now with the tree lit up is kind of nice. I’ve tried taking a few pics but they keep coming out sort of blurry and crap. Not sure why.. I’m sure there is some setting in my camera for it but I can’t find it.<\/p>\n
Christmas 2005 hasn’t been cancelled in the Soldaat household, and I’m sort of glad now. Although, Christmas clearly will never be what it once was, so I’m thinking maybe I need to make up my own holiday to replace Christmas. I still needs to involve a Christmas tree and lots of Turkey though. Sort of like Seth on The O.C. and Christmakuh, his childhood invention that combines the traditions of both sides of his family.<\/p>\n
What could I call it.. Christma-??- The name, the name.. the pressure of a name! (Who can remember what movie that comes from?)*<\/p>\n
That, along with getting my quilting blocks for the week finished, will be my mission for this holiday season. To rename and recreate Christmas to suit my surroundings..<\/p>\n
Christmaaaaaa…. shit, I have absolutely no ideas.<\/p>\n
